A bit tight but I didn't decant. The nose was its best asset. Nice mix of minerality and fruit. Not as fruit forward as the 2003, which you would expect.

Just about any new world wine drinker will find it enjoyable. This is my 3rd and final bottle and I don't remeber the others having so much heat. Can really taste the alcohol on this one. Otherwise it could be 90pts for me.

Dependable Hess. I'll take a fruit forward California red with good tannin structure on the back end for $12 ALL DAY LONG.
