Lighter body, fruit forward, not tannic, better alone than with strong food

very smooth, low tannins, probably good for someone who doesn't want traditional "fruit bomb" Napa Cab.

good color, but one dimensional. light tannins; abrupt finish. seemed more like a pinot (light bodied) than a big Napa cab.

Part of the wine tasting selection for James' 40th birthday celebration. Maybe it is because of the other wines, but I didn't enjoy this wine as much as I did the first time we drank it. Also, cork was very dry when pulled - although the wine seemed fine - just not extraordinary like I remembered.
