High toned red fruit with a touch of spice. Not particularly complex but good.

Aug 7th, 2020Underbrush and dusty cherry on the nose. Light on the palate with high alcohol and acid. Red currant, cherry and forest floor leaves. Seems a little hot, over 14%.

Definately on my list of That's Fucking Delicious! It starts like a forrest floor in autumn covered in raspberries and morello cherries. As the wine opened there was a lot of raspberry sherbert going on. I need more please!

Jul 9th, 2017On the nose, dried roses, cherries and wet rock. In the mouth, quite floral, black cherries, rose hips, a hint of orange peel. High acidity, slight tannins, medium-long finish. Very Pinot Noir-like. Good. **Side note** There are some flavors here that are quite similar to a number of Virginia Wines, and ones many people would consider "flaws"...but because it's a "Jura" wine, it's just "funky and cool". JMHO - I like them both.
