Jones Family Vineyard

The Sisters Cabernet Sauvignon 2003

9.7

I would invite you to find a bottle like this older & well stored 03, “The Sisters. “I would enjoy tasting this blind w/ Napa Cult wines & lovers. Then, watch their eyes open wide when I pulled off the brown bag. Many would call Colgin, Scarecrow, Harlan, Bond & the like etc.. I recently paid $50 for this 2003 at auction. That includes tax & auction fees. For vintage, they would call 10, 13 or 14. This is still youthful. Beautiful M+ somewhat rounded tannins, fruit buffet w/ dark pronounced spice. This has ten years plus left.

The palate is round, plush, phat fruits of; blackberries, black raspberries, plum, dark cherries, strawberries, purple fruits with blueberries. Dark, well pronounced spice, soft baking spices, sweet graphite, soft, fresh, tobacco notes, used leather warm, gray clay, river-stone, mocha, caramel notes, dry crushed rock, limestone marl, some dry top soil, dark, purple red fresh & withering florals, excellent, round acidity and a well made, balanced, beautifully structured and elegant finish that lasts minutes falling on elegant earth & spice.

TRB made wine. Stunning!!!!

Château Haut-Sorillon

Bordeaux Supérieur Red Bordeaux Blend 2019

Color of purple with slightly gray and blue tone on the rim. Nice legs. Nose of good aldehyde, dried strawberry, prune, dark cherry, ripe grapes, and leather. Taste is smooth, with addition of soft tannins, suckling acidity, a bit minty, a tiny bit sweet, some spice, dark fruits, and zest. Aftertaste is medium long, a revisit of the taste, and quite tasty. Good one. — 3 years ago

L'Hôpital Côtes du Jura White Blend

Matté
9.6

Stunner of a Savagnin, nose evokes a lovely mix of toasted nuts, caramel, apple sauce, camomile, white & yellow flowers as well as an almond croissant richness.
Rich mouth feel with vibrant acidity and that walnut skin tannin after taste.
Young, vital with some rough edges that should smooth out with a bit of time in bottle.

(from a 0.31ha vineyard planted in ‘06 on limestone scree and blue/gray marks over limestone, 18 months in fine lees in used oak).
