Jessup Cellars
Louer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Pleasantly surprised by this! Jessup is a household favorite for their everyday drinkers (check out their zin), but after having their ‘10 Vineyard O Cab last month, I wanted to try this in comparison. This is MUCH better. The Vineyard O Cab was so chewy and disjointed. However, this seems to be peaking. Sweet nutmeg, blueberry pie and birch wood on the nose. Full bodied and a killer mid palate through the finish after an hour of being open. Rush of blue and black fruits, plum, cassis, lavender and vanilla. Glad to have another one of these.

This 2013 is simply amazing. Jessup has some nice and some amazing wines. All of them are full bodies and none ‘need’ something to compliment. This is a can indicative of what Napa goodness really is.

Barely acceptable. Inoffensive but uninspired. Too fruit fwd without quite becoming merlot/Malbec syrup. Young heavy tannins. Quite acidic. All-in-all a horrible description but still drinkable w food
