Very nice. Not super concentrated or structured but lovely fruit, nicely balanced with some complexity. Seems quite different to other '05 Napa cabs I've had, which are somewhat bigger and more austere.

Ben and I bought from the winery for Dan and Sally's wedding gift on our '09 trip to Napa. Was pleasantly surprised with the quality! Drank this weekend at dinner with them. Dark fruit, some graphite, and reasonably complex with a good finish. A drink now, or over the next year or two. And it was quite fun watching the waiter the pour out of a double magnum!

A very nice smooth wine with some complexity. Age has done this a great service.

Dry & acidic.
Aroma of green olive and barnyard.
