Rich and dense but beautifully balanced. Soft and powdery notes of luxurious wood, dark fruit, balsamic nuances, creamy chocolate and caramel. Sweet tobacco, too.
Such a wonderful wine, and showing how good the 97 vintage and the winemaking team (maiden vintage!) was. — 6 years ago

I really like this wine. Opens up beautifully to reveal dark chocolate and dried fruits - almost raisin-like flavors. Really enjoyed it. — 8 years ago

Another succesful Vinolus.

Good job — 10 years ago

One of my favorite small production wine, 300 cases. Cal Nicholson spent his youth in So. CA & after a long marketing career he hung up his spurs to follow his 2 real interests in life – surfing & wine making. Jones is the maiden name of Cal’s wife Pam. A wonderful wine. Aromas of lemon citrus with herb, stone & tropical fruits. Palate, peach, Granny Smith apple & ripe melon flavors with lively citrus zest wrapped in lbalanced acidity. Lingering finish ending with mineral citrus finish. Consistent! Nice! — 4 years ago

The bouquet is incredible on this wine. Huge cedar note, with deep dark chocolate and spice in the nose. Finish is big and long. Palate is filled with the same notes from the bouquet. My maiden voyage with epoch and it is quickly rising to the top of my list.... tannin structure on this wine is elegant, complex and very present. — 7 years ago
