  The biggest flaw with this wine was tasting it side by side with the 2006 Pride Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. Still very good on it's own, just didn't have the oomph of the Reserve Cabernet. Still very nice plum and black cherry fruit with chocolate in the nose and flavor. The Merlot gave it a much softer mouthfeel. The claret was medium to full bodied with nice complexity, structure and balance. A very nice food wine like it's counterpart with a long finish. This wine is also in a good place right now.

  Lower nose on this, cherry compote, rich, concentrated, reduction sauce, good lift tangy black cherry, slight candied cherry, plush. My 3rd place of the bunch. Group. ranked this at #11 of 13. Probably because it was less aromatic. DD Napa Cabs blind at Michaels

  Good structure, fine tannins, plenty of fruit (I taste black cherry) on the finish.

  Pnp, then slow ox in glass. Dark mountain fruit, chocolate, subdued yet noticeable soft tannin. opulent, medium to full bodied. No secondary terroir or herbal flavors. Best after 1-2 hours. This is a slow evolving wine as it didn't vary from the last time I had this. This was my 3rd bottle in the past couple years. Impressive!

  Pnp, then slow ox in glass. Dark mountain fruit, chocolate, opulent mouthfeel, full bodied, sediment at end. Not much secondary terroir flavors. Best after open for 3 hours. This is a slow evolving wine as it didn't vary from the last time I had this 2 years ago.
