Strawberry and yogurt and the right descriptors, but not overly sweet as that might imply. Slight yeastyness gives it bonus points in my book — 11 years ago

Impressive wine. Dense rich iodine quality. In my book the tannins are resolved but it may have a few years left in it. This is the best of California akin to Diamond Creek. — 11 years ago

One of my favorite cheap red wines. Explosive and smooth, with a slightly sweet, zesty and fruitful aftertaste. It's also quite strong, which is a bonus in my book. — 13 years ago

With so few Napa Wines hitting the mark so surely, this folks is a TEXT BOOK example of how it's done right. Tasting this wine is a pure pleasure, it reminds me of a left bank Bordeaux. Lean where it should be, vivid acid taming abundant fruit and wonderfully stunning minerality. The structure of this wine could easily go another 10 years. Plums, cocoa dust, blackberries, cedar and dried underbrush. You can spend more, but you honestly won't get more! #winelover #wine — 11 years ago

Wine Spec gives this a 93 and only 395 cases +-! I give it the same. Need to be served at a cool 60 degrees. Great nose good fruit up front with just a touch of heat that goes away with breathing . Also a great glass when reading new book" Daniel Silva "the Heist" I am midway thru the book. Ask me SUNDAY my thoughts! Bravo Charlie Beatty — 12 years ago

Jura red blends are described in Wink Lorch's Jura book as "reminiscent of Burgundies from another of age." This one is also reminiscent of an extremely good Beaujolais. Old oak, pale colour, red fruits, and a grainy, savoury quality. Light bodied but intense, it's great with chicken and roast veg. (2010) — 11 years ago
