Not a Napa winery that somms are drooling over, but older SG usully delivers. Fully resolved and drinking at peak, but should hold steady for another decade.

Color: Dark ruby red
Nose: light fruit
Palate: tannins are still going strong, medium bodied maybe a little more, light cassis
Opinion: better than I remember, quite enjoyable

Had this bottle in the cellar for many years. Let it breath for a while. Smooth and elegant.
