Consistently outstanding year-to-year, the 2008 vintage does not disappoint. Luscious aromas of cherry and big cherry flavors upfront with the classically Napa Valley cabernet flavorings, accompanied by a nice, long and clean finish. We shared this last night with friends at the tail end of a great steak meal (Cafe Firenze) and the wine was able to handle the steak and stand alone afterwards.
While Robert Parker has this at a 91, I think it bears a slightly better review more consistent with previous year's average scores (92-95).
If you get a chance to visit their winery in Napa, I highly recommend the experience. A great atmosphere you can try some of their other hard to find favorites (Tomahawk Vineyard, Elevage).
