5901 Silverado Trail, Napa, CA 94558
Phone: 707 252 9777 Club/Discounts: Club Members 20% Discount, tastings (upto 6) for free Tasting Fees: Cabernet Tasting $20 Busy tasting room -service was slow. They have a regular tasting area, a reserve tasting bar and then offer private tastings in their cellar by appointment. On this occasion, all the wines were tainted by a metallic aftertaste. Must have been the glasses. Expected wines to rate better than they did - some had tasted better previously. |

 Best Value Wine - June, 2007
Incredible nose, solid C rating, very smooth wine that is drinking well. Good structure with medium long finish - a few years left for this wine. |

| Typical Rutherford aroma, but not very complex (no layers). Hot. Chemical aftertaste (all cabs had this - glass cleaner?)

Mar 21st, 2009 |
| Sweet and jammy - not what I was expecting. Easy drinker after the sweet start, but too pricey for this wine. |

Mar 21st, 2009 |
| Very cherry. Tannins more balanced on the finish. |
| 2005 Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon ($75) | Rating: B
Mar 21st, 2009 |
| Acidic with fruit muted in the background. Hits the back of your mouth more than your palate |

May 7th, 2005 |
| "Rutherford dust" aroma. Better than 2001, but still with zinc aftertaste
