Enjoyed this last night at dinner in one of Newberg, Oregon's best restaurants: The Painted Lady. Despite being on a table with more expensive wines, it was on an easy par with everything there. Stood out with bold food (lamb) but was exceptional on its own. Felt like it had more cellar years in it, if we'd wanted to go that route, but can't imagine it was far from its peak. A real treat.

Un vin simple, mais impeccable pour 21$. 10 ans et pas une ride. Il m'en reste une bouteille... Je suis tenté de la conserver encore plus longtemps pour la science.

Whoever said sweet tannin had it right. Bold blackberry and raspberry fruit, deep ruby color, and a lingering sweetness on the finish that makes it quite pleasant to drink. Not cloyingly sweet, so no worries there. Good until 2012, but not much longer than that.

Drinking nicely, quite glossy, lovely creamy cabernet fruit, slightly coarse tannins.
