Was lucky enough to try a sample of the 2011 SB before it gets bottled.
Unfiltered, 100% Stainless Steel aged with a hint of Semillon. An absolutely beautiful white wine. Tropical fruit without that overripe flavor that too often comes with them. When this is released I'm defiantly going to pick a few up.
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley
First vintage from Estate vintage and it's already a winner. Smooth as can be without being boring. Wonderful fruit and layer after layer of flavor. 14.4% Alc 80% New French Oak aged. My favorite of all the wines and I loved them all so that's really saying something. Even at the it's not everyday I try a $40+ bottle of wine which I consider a value, but this wine truly is, buy a couple and enjoy life
Very nice 100% Merlot out of Red Mountain. A blend of Kiona, Klipson and Ciel du Cheval. Nice acid that would make this work very well with food, but still has a lot of depth to it. Medium finish, and nice tannins which aren't overpowering, but nicely in balance. Has the fruit to age 5-10 years easily. Very nice Merlot
Another wonderful red from JM, 80% New French oak just like the Margaret's Vineyard, but they are very different wines. More of a bite to it, not in a bad way, just the oak comes out of this a little more than the others. Has the fruit and I think it will come together perfectly, but needs probably 2-3 years
Cab heavy blend with Syrah and Merlot in the mix. Serious heavy hitter which can stand up with the big boys. Even though the Syrah is only 18% its comes through clear as day. Very tannic, but has the fruit to power through it. This will be many peoples favorite of the mix, but prefer the Margaret’s Vineyard
