Wow...so much better than previous bottle (12/21/06). This is beautifuly smooth, silky, and refined. Dark cherry, leather, and a dash of pepper. Reminscent of what Montelena used to bottle as their "St. Vincent." Reminds me, too, of a fine Italian primitivo. Drink now.

It had promise, but I waited too long. There were images of what it could have been, but they were like ghosts in the night. Not much of a finish and very almost watered down fruit. Another reason to not drink such wines in their fading years. Pleasant....but I am going to start of push to consume most of my wine in their youth.

Nice, smooth, fruity wine with enough acidity to balance that tannin and spice. Drink now, as this will not improve much with time.
