Had this as part of a tasting with a 2004 of the same wine. This wine definitely shows more youth, and is perhaps a bit tightly wound at the moment. Good fruit, highlighted by black plums and black berries, with a hint of cocoa coming through on the finish. Tannins aren't harsh, but still somewhat awkward and needs a couple more years to fully integrate. Pretty nice grape juice, but in this tasting I prefer the 2004.

This wine is always amazing. They are one of my favorite cabs in Napa. Tried many tastings there with different years. But this one sticks out with being good. Consistent every year.

Nice tasting wine that only got better with time. May be best if cellared for a little longer. Nice bordeaux blend with some smokiness and hints of herbs.

Medium dry medium body. Good nose. Wait on the next bottle. Needs more time to age.
