Did not love as much as the 2008 from the same vineyard. Much more astringent, though with good berries. Some green pepper and herbs.

Very good overall. Drank over 3 nights - liked it a little better the first night, didn't open up much more. Nice berry aroma with a smooth finish.
Winery Tastings, Napa, May 2012; 5/17/2012-5/20/2012 (Coombsville, Howell Mountain, Moss Creek, Calistoga, Spring Mountain, Rutherford, Pritchard Hill): (A-) Seeded fruit character with a lovely floral component on the nose. Like smelling berry-bushes. Tannins are a bit hard, and I look forward to them calming down. Red fruit, liquor element in the background, but still finishes very silky smooth.
