Decanted for an hour. Restrained style compared with many Napa Bordeaux blends. Promising nose, medium bodied, juicy but not intensly concentrated, balanced with mild tannins. Cherry, vanilla, maybe a little pomegranate. This has at least a couple more years of development ahead of it. I enjoyed this wine. An excellent value at $25.

Fresh floral nose, raspberry, vanilla notes with a hint of spice and cedar on the finish. Dont think this will benefit from much more aging as the tannins seem quite integrated by now, did improve after an hour of air.

A nice little Bordeaux style blend with smooth dark fruit flavors mixed with some soft vanilla notes and a lingering finish. Much better compared to the 05.

Nice structure and full fruit flavor. Could easily sit for another year and I bet would smooth and complex.
