2003 Cakebread Rubaiyat, Napa Valley

[TheEngineer]

This wine is 77% PN, 12% Syrah adn 11% Zin. Garnet in color, a nose predominantly of PN and Syrah (some gameyness). Zin did not show through bit I think added a bit of background roundedness.

Tasted more like a PN with light berries and good tannins that were just a bit on the rough side for me. The syrah came in at the end with a bit of gameyness but the Zin did not play a major roll. Medium length finish.

Interesting at $28 which is the list price. More palateable at $15-$20.
