Classic Napa cab with just the right amount of fruit and oak. Oak was stronger on the nose but well integrated on the palate. Only had a small amount of this wine, but really enjoyed.

Up against a '95 Ferriere and a '04 Concannon Petite Sirah. This was the surprise winner, although I preferred the Ferriere. Beautiful, soft nose of cherry and leather that reminded several of us of a zinfandel. On the palate it was a classic, young Napa cab. Smooth, not real long on the finish, very little tannins. I'd drink up, as this wine does not seem to have the structure to go the long haul.

I was going to leave the August Briggs wine club because I wasn't that thrilled with their last selection. Then I opened this bottle and drank it with raclette, and all was forgiven.
