Money. Killer. Rad. Channeling my inner @Philip Carpenter who also totally loves these wines. Jaffurs is the poster child of consistency in winemaking, and Verna's is always a powerful tapestry. Super opaque, almost black purple, very ripe/rich black &blue fruits, some lavender, and roasted meats. Pedal to the metal, jump on board and enjoy the ride (now channeling my inner @Bill Bender!). — 10 years ago

A pleasant surprise. Rich and unctuous, but with stand up acidity to keep it from being cloying. Nice match with a berry pie. — 10 years ago

Deep intensity. Ruby in color. Nose medium with nice red fruit. Great buy at Costco for 15$. Short finish with not much complexity. — 2 years ago

Wow! This is a great viognier, although my husband said “it doesn’t knock my socks off”. Has a slightly sweeter finish than I like, might have been a year with sudden cold snap? — 6 years ago

Light Ruby, about 1/3 whole clusters were used and aged in French oak, 65% neutral and 35% new. Aromas of berry fruits with floral spice. On the palate flavors of cherry and blackberry, light in style, with notes of tea, well balanced with acidity. Soft velvety tannins, medium length, ending with an earthy mineral tang. Very nice! Tasting Sample! — 7 years ago

Has to be in the conversation of the top Cali Vio's. Unctuous tropical fruit and flowers with the right dollop of acidity. Ever so slightly off-dry. Outstanding with chicken in Thai peanut sauce. — 10 years ago

Prominent oak, but light tannin. Not bad, but outclassed by the Jaffurs from the same vintage that it was served after. — 10 years ago

For those looking for a chicken mole pairing. Some tannic grip, luscious fruit, and spice/pepper. — 7 years ago

Jaffurs Wine Cellars was founded by Craig Jaffurs, known for his Rhone blends, and released his first commercial wine in 1994. Craig turned the business over to Dan and Janelle Green in 2016. About 40% of the wine was aged for 6 months in neutral oak and the rest in stainless steel, which keeps the wine fresh. Aromas of tropical fruits and elegant floral notes. On the palate layered flavors of peach, apricot and honey with refreshing acid balance. Nice mouthfeel, medium length, ending with refreshing fruit. Very nice! Tasting Sample! — 7 years ago

Probably the most “average” Syrah I’ve had from Jaffurs. Not sure if it’s the vintage or vineyard... — 8 years ago

Delicious wine. Benefits greatly from decanting. Firm pleasurable tannins. This wine is a keeper and in 3-4 years will be amazing. Rating the wine where it is now. Will buy more bottles to lay down.👍🏼 — 10 years ago
