Another outstanding experience with this wine that deserves high praise. Big dark fruit flavors but not overpowering, comes across as excellent craftsmanship with high quality raw materials.

Same as first bottle (Brilliant, smooth cab. Drinking well now. Nicely balanced. Dark berry and floral aromas. Dark berry and mocha flavors.) I wish I bought more than 2.

Took a couple hours, but this really opened up. Understated nose. Tannins well integrated, unlike a lot of 2007 Napa Cabs. The alcohol is subtle, though I could not say that at 60 minutes in. Fruity though not quite a fruit bomb. Not very heavy on the palate. Super long finish. As time went on, this tasted more like a Pinot than a Cab.

An elegant and very well integrated wine. Don't think French - I didn't find that minerality. Not a tanic boomer but exemplifies balance in a nice blend. Changed notably after being opened 30 minutes. Soft stone fruits. Because it is supple, it is more versatile than some and will not cover flavors of lighter fare. This make is a great bottle to take to the club and share when not all are having the same type of entree. jr
