Loads of balance in this wine. Notes of blackberry, cassis and a touch of earth on the nose. Seamless in the mouth, acid, tannin and fruit in complete harmony. Very nice effort.

No formal notes, but drinking just lights out right now! Fragrant perfumed nose, ample fruit with structure to match, and a delicious long finish. That said, this has a little room for improvement, so I'll enjoy my remaining bottles over the next 5-8 years.

Part of the tasting at Fisher. Tasted last among the reds. Delicious lifted nose with full body but silky richness. Lovely tannic structure with nice grip and heft. The uniqueness of the site shines through in this wine.

Amazing inky and cedar spice, added to this already forward and plum cassis nose. Great mid weight pallet with good dark chocolate notes and violet attrib. Finishes still a little aggressive but will definately be ready in a few more years to come (3/15/12)

Not the Napa flavor profile (particularly for '07). A little green flavor, but not unpleasant. My wife liked it more than I did.
