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.
