This developed positively from previous tastings here on Delectable. My brief notes - Liquorice; more savoury than fruit driven - Bacon, Charcuterie, spicy notes on the nose and medium weight palate. Some pepper. Very Northern Rhone in style. Certainly built for the long haul. I have 2 left - next in 2024. I ended up having the next bottle 42 weeks later on 31st May 2023. Consistent notes to previous ones here. — 4 years ago
I have written notes on 4 bottles of the 97 Jones Family Cabernet. This is the most perfect.
I have had all the Napa Cult Cabernets. None have ever rocked my palate/whole body the way this 97 Jones has done.
This is sadly my last bottle. I think it has finally hit its precipice. So, enjoy. If there are others that appear on the secondary markets, you’ll have to out dual/bid me.
I could write more notes but my previous ones will still apply plus. I am simply going to enjoy near perfection w/o further notes. Cheers! 🍷
Coravined bottle from last weekend relaid in storage. If I had a long enough thin tongue, I’d lick the inside of the bottle. 🤔😂 😋

Super juicy. Pinot Grigio. Clean and crisp not our Kombucha type - skin contact! Tannic and quite tart but man is this great stuff. Small pears the ones which used to grow on old forgotten trees. Touch Strawberries. 🍉 Watermelon. It is incredible hard to spit this wine. A class on its own. — 2 years ago
2019 vintage. Cabernet imposter nose and entry mouthfeel. Überripe cherry and dusty plum up in the front seat with the spices, earth and wood in the back. Excellent concentration and nice heft for the $$. Almost scored it a 9.4. Gotta pick up some more of this vintage before the price goes up with future ones. — 3 years ago
One of my favorite ones, so fresh, so fruity, enough dry, in pair with parmesan/mimolette cheese in the hottest spanish days — a year ago
My first white Grenache. Super refreshing and very drinkable, especially after a long day. Notes of juicy peach and tropical fruits make this a great summer wine. — a year ago
Best Rose ever from some of the best grapes they farm - almost like a red - look at the color! Lots of umpf! Orange 🍊 ish nose. Darker fruit mostly with dollop of wild Strawberries and plenty of Bing cherries yet still tart. Harribo bears - the red ones! Dangerously drinkable. Unbeatable if you like E&M’s style. Cellar worthy. Superb vintage. — 2 years ago

I was pleasantly surprised that this Costco wine tasted so amazingly good!
…, candidly, it is my favorite wine under $20 a bottle from Costco right now… …. They’ve got a few good ones there right now, but most of those are 87 to 90 readings by me even though they say 92 on the bottle ,
It may just be the day or my pallet right now, but it has a really nice soft finish and a wonderful taste , not too bold but very pleasant! — 4 months ago
