I'm tasting it "on assignment" tonight (a hard job, I know, but someone has to do it), and just wondered if anyone with recent experience can let me know what to expect.

It was just ok as I remember. Nothing to get excited about. Not really a good vintage overall in the valley. Maybe it's aged into something better?

It was pretty good. Nicely balanced, drinkable but still very much on the uphill side of mature.

Out of curiosity, Robin, was this SL Winery or SL Wine Cellars? I'm guessing the former, since it apparently had just the Napa designation. I had a wonderful SL Winery Petite Sirah last month.
