Hits the nose with strawberry and papaya notes. Mouth feel is smooth and dry with citrus hints. Finish is medium and minerally. Overall a very nice white. It develops as it warms up — 6 years ago
Wait, what? Southern Oregon...where’s that, and how did they come to make such amazing white wines? The sock puppet has questions. Voluptuous density with amazing balance of floral, spice, and tropical fruit notes. Gonna have to look into this Muscat thing... — 7 years ago

What a bad boy. Full of supple blackberry fruit from the Syrah balanced with lovely and silky tannin from the Tempranillo. Absolutely excellent flavor and structure. Truly exciting for Oregon. — 8 years ago

This is a bottle that Vanessa was given by a former student who was apparently trying to clear out his cellar. Bottled on October 4, 2011, this is the best incarnation of Noel de Calabaza that I’ve ever had. Incredible balance, great secondary aromas, and a finish that lasts far longer than younger versions of this beer. Just goes to show how awesome JPs can become if you hide them away for a few years. — 6 years ago

2002 vintage- best of the lot in a 2004, 2005, 2006 vertical tasting, plum and dark fruit on the nose, plums prune in the mouth... fruit was waining but still balanced enough- tannins were still properly intact- was a pleasure, thanks to my Dad for making the tasting possible — 8 years ago
