Saturday, May 6, 2006 - Popped this after running through the 2000 CdP with the lamb chops. Not decanted. A bit disappointing for a Cali meritage from an excellent vintage. It wasn't bad; it just wasn't in the same league as the white aperitif and CdP that went before it. In fairness, this was a pleasant bordeaux blend that surely would have benefitted from some air time. Medium weight and tannins. Tasted some cherries and currants on the palate Relatively short finish. Probably didn't do justice to it. Oh well....
