  Surprisingly tasty, but somewhat lacking in complexity, and a bit short.

  GREAT aged Alexander Valley Cabernet! Had more life than an 03 and 05 Merlot from Napa did. This wine still had quite a bit of youthful exuberance. The nose was black cherry and an herbal note. The entry was soft, black cherry and a hint of tobacco and earth. The middle was full bodied, not overly ripe, great fruit structure, grilled meat and ripe black cherry with a hint of plum. The finish revealed very little tannin and a nice black cherry core with smoke, worn saddle leather. Nice representation of Sonoma Cab from 03, and probably one of the best wines of the night.

  Deep rich berries and currant, leather and spice on the nose. Dark plums and cranberry, with silky long finish. Heavy sediment; we let it decant for just over 2 hours. Wonderful wine that aged out nicely.
