Just updating tasting notes from my wine journal. Not a bad showing overall but not in the league of other Napa Producers from the 04 vintage.
Medium gold. Pear, citrus, oak and vanilla. Medium finish with room for aging.

More complex than the Russian River wiht pear, citrus, floral, oak and a buttery finish. Medium finish and a complex wine.
Floral, figs, citrus fruits and oak. A thick wine and good acidity. Needs some time and it should improve.
Medium gold in color. Balanced overall with minerals, pear, apple and spices. Medium finish.
Young but shows some promise. Dark purple. Tannic but reveals crushed rock, spice, cassis and oak. On the finish it picks up a smoke character and is quite long. Needs five plus years in the cellar.
Subtle wine which is a surprise with earth, sweet fruits, spice and minerals. Medium finish and needs some time to show more. 90-92.
Ripe fruit, spice and oak. This could have used a good decant. Not real complex and not a wine I would pay more than $20 for.
