Rating for United States-California: 91 (slightly better than average year)<br/><br/>Drinkability: drink now<br/>

Tasted on March 12, 2010 as part of a vertical from 2002 to 2006. <br/><br/>Tannins still firm but aged nicely. Rich flavors of cassis and nice oak finish. Very ripe with great fruit. Drinkable now, but well worth cellaring. My favorite of the vertical tasting.
