Browns suck, luckily wines didn't. 02 Girard PS, 07 Eyrie shitty PN (Home): Allowed to breathe for about an hour prior to kick off. The nose is nice with black raspberries, charred wood, black pepper. With a bit more air, this seemed to dry out a bit on the nose. Still nice though. The palate has a lot of boysenberry. Dried wood. Some black pepper. Medium bodied. Has a nice complexity to it. Flirts with greatness then comes back. Very nice. No hurry.

This is drinking nicely - sweet blackberry and blackcherry with a hint of cassis on the nose. Very round in the mouth with the fruity nose carrying over to the palate. Plenty of tannins here but they are nicely smoothed out. A very good Napa PS that was under $20 when purchased.

Perfect wine against Gorgonzola and pasta dish. Finished nicely but needed a long time to breathe.

Very dark. Nice black fruit flavors with a good balance of ripe tannins and pleasing acidity.
