I really enjoyed this wine. Atypical of some Napa valley fruit bombs, this was on the lighter side but with complex fruit flavors of strawberry and cherry. Tannins were still firm and it had a long finish of lavender, red currants and soil.

Very true to it's Rutherford roots with cedar, Rutherford dust and dark fruit abound. There is a touch of age on it, but pleasantly so; making it more complex. Very pleasant and a nice benchmark to compare Jean's newer wines (in which he had more control over the entire process) to.

Good but not great, slight hint of oak on the nose, tannins quieted but fruit is starting to wear. Medium finish.
