  Past its prime, but it is still very good. A little "hot" ROH nose overrode
  the fruit. I can't distinguish which fruit. Balanced.

  nose- blackberry, boysenberry, smoky
  mouth - tight bit still full of stuffing, dark fruited, perhaps a bit stewy.
  Drink up.

  nose - dark fruit, sexy&seductive
  mouth - drinks like a charm, well balanced good fruit still with nice complexity including hints of toasted orange peel. Reminiscent of an older Maya.

  Had this wine at a blind tasting. A delicious and well balanced wine with well balanced fruit, acidity, and structure considering its age. I had initially thought this was a conservatively made Shiraz with some age but at the same time was not surprised that it was a more classic style of napa cab. I just wish Napa would make the wines more like they used to. A total contrast to the overwhelming Hillside select tasted alongside in the blind tasting
