strangely during the tasting only the caymus,pine ridge and mt veeder had some fruit going on(but not alot) the wines were displaying cedar, mint, tobacco, nutty, coffee, chocolate, caramel, cotton candy, and peppery flavors
You didn't mention the Justin... I think their entry level (~$25 I think) is excellent, but that's not it in the picture.
the justin was a dessert wine that did not get opened that night

I'm sorry you're on the opposite coast, you're high on my list of FTR'ers I'd like to hang out with
