Pale ruby with garnet rim, mushroom soil, stewed fruit, and muted spice. Despite being a single-vineyard, the wine feels tired and limp. Not the best example from the region.

Ruby with some opacity, mushrooms on the nose, light bodied but good balance. Not as exciting as other Juras I’ve had.

Light red from France. Tried it at Bar August in New Haven. Phil and I both liked.

Everything I love in a Jura red. Tart red fruit, wet dirt, hint of spice. Delicious.

A little age has brought out the complexity here. Incredibly tasty.
