We pnp'd, dark fruit on the nose, the palate was dark berries, plums, tobacco and dried thyme. A moderate length finish made this an enjoyable drinking experience. Great QPR.

We pnp'd at dinner. Dark fruit on the nose, the palate was berry, plum, coffee and hint of dried herbs. Finish was decent. Overall an enjoyable bottle of wine.

I think I picked this up at the winery, which I've visited a few times. This is really quite pretty and has some serious backbone. Smokey, tobacco, oaky tones. There's a slight stridency on the finish making it feel a bit overcooked, or it could be that there was a period where I didn't have this stored in a temperature-controlled environment, so it may have been impacted by some high temperature..
On the 2nd day this became an altogether better wine; more composed, deeper, darker with new chocolate and coffee tones, even more serious. I'm often disappointed by cabs from Sonoma vs. Napa, but this was a pleasant surprise. I was similarly impressed by the '04 of the same wine I had a few years ago. 91+pts.
