Funky fun. High sulfur. Barnyard funk 101. Would never know it’s a SavBlanc. This is great stuff. Has to be part of The Trustfall. #doloresoutpost — 4 years ago

Lovely evening with very lovely dinner guests...this guy the second of two different bottles enjoyed this evening. Right out of the gate showed strong dark fruit especially plum to the nose...on the palate strong blueberry, plums slight pepper a bit a leather. Med plus finish and very delicious. — 6 years ago
Once again, they were out of the wine I ordered and offered this. Once again, a nice choice. Great with the braised pork shank. — 11 days ago
Lovely aromas of red fruits and subtle hints of bell pepper. Light on the palate with tart cranberry and some underlying vegetal notes. A perfect summer red!! — 5 months ago
Nimble, funky jaminess - the opposite of what you’d expect of a Cali Zin with almost 14% abv, in the best possible way. Very much in harmony and for my money, Scholium at its accessible best. — 6 years ago
Insane QPR. Comparable with a lot of $75 WA reds for 1/3 price. Well done, and aging well. — a month ago
Jarvis will always have a special place in my heart and in the wine scene. To believe this was first made my Will Javis in 8th grade as a science project is iconic. You can taste the difference in using fresh oak barrels. This Cabernet franc would pair really well with lamb chops or a ribeye, Camembert cheese, or even some fire roasted veggies. — 4 months ago
This drinks perfectly at 11 years old. Definitely Jura reminiscent. A bit tight at first, tart lemon and rind. Then toasted marshmallow and burnt sugar, then some funk. Just brilliant. — 6 years ago

What’s not to like about this BDX blend from WA! Not overdone or overextracted (oak definitely there but integrated) but very generous aromatics & flavors on palate. Red & black fruit, warm spice, distinct cassis, minerality & earthiness like loam & soil goodness. Sturdy tannins, bit hi ABV - sometimes lumbering, but a really impressive & persistent finish.
