  March 15, 2012 - Very light in color, took a little while to open but still tasted great. Very smooth. Didn't have the bold flavors I had remembered, I think it has mellowed a bit in the bottle or was past it's drinking window. Still one of my favorites.

  Fabulous! A hidden gem. Just as was the bottle I had 3 years ago from an earlier vintage. Drink now!

  September 29, 2008 - Red in the glass.
  Red fruit with nice white pepper spice. Some nice acidity and a little heat in the finish.
  Interesting Pinot Meunier (blend). A little short on the finish though. Solid juice with decent structure.

  May 25, 2008 - Decanted for 2 hours. Paired with grilled flank steak dinner. Ripe fruit paired with gentle tannins. Dry. I liked it more than the lady. Well made, and a bit different the your typical napa red.
