  February 11, 2012 - Decanted for 2 hours. Cherry & Raspberry on the nose but subtle. Heavy palate. Cherry, raspberry, a bit of oak, vanilla and some balsamic. Excellent. Long finish. 30 sec +. This competes well with much more expensive wines. Definitely will get more from a more recent vintage.

  January 12, 2009 - At $15, this is a phenomenal QPR; at $20, it's respectable though just shy of a no-brainer. I first discovered the '06 vintage of this wine by chance and with few expectations, was quite impressed. Unable to find the '06, I picked up this '05 and am similarly impressed,though just ever-so slightly less. Definitely a Napa-typical aromatic, fruit-forward, inky crimson-purple, pretty well-structured offering and thus, a crowd-pleaser (I know, what's with all the hyphenated words?) The only weird thing was a funky out-of-balance acidity that was slightly off-putting...though it only showed itself for about 20mins. (from 45-65mins after decant + vinturi); ironic in that the wine has ample fruit and a nice medium-long finish, yet aside from that 20mins., the acidity was a tad lacking. All-in-all a respectable quaffer and well worth a try!

  November 23, 2008 - surprinsingly heavy glass! nice cab, smooth, fruity, food friendly and good by itself. Some left over the next day was just fine.
