The nose showed dark fruit, plum and baked blueberry, as well as oak and a bit of a barnyard essence. On the palate that same fruit was restrained at first; although it gradually opened up, the fruit never achieved a prominent part of the drinking experience and the overall experience was somewhat one-dimensional and flat. Very soft tannins, mild acidity, and a shortish finish. Recommend decanting for 1-2 hours.

Coravined a glass tonight. Great example of napa cab with some age. Soft supple, good fruit and plenty of structure! Yum!! Great qpr.

Has lost a bit of its luster. Drink now, will not improve with age.

OK again but still hoping for a bit better than that. Nice fruit but quite ripe and almost Zin like in its profile.

Drank alongside the 2006. Not nearly as good. Still fresh and showing good Napa character with some restraint.
