First choice tonight was actually an 07 Ch Montelena Estate but it opened in a worrisome fashion so I grabbed this, hoping it wasn't too tight and young. It wasn't. Soft, smooth, accessible, and with delightful structure and concentration. Tannins and finish are both subtle. Very well made. A lucky grab at the last minute.

Great nose. Initially tastes a hair ripe and needing another couple years to add subtlety. After an hour of getting air, it did get better. Admittedly expected more however.

Everything you could ask for from a Napa Cab of this vintage.

So, I'm a lil tired from the night before, cuz I drank too much till too late in the night and woke up too early after a night of not sleeping well. So, in the morning I had a few strong cups off coffee, which cracked me out too much, so I took some sleep aid, which made me too tired to pick up my daughter from school, so I took a few ADD meds to get me going again. By the time I came home I was too wired again and took some NyQuil, but knew I had to work soon, so I took a nap. Waking up from my rest and feeling recharged, I slammed a bottle of Chimney Rock to counter my new found energy. Perfect for those occasions.
