Community Tasting Note

West Coast Wine Likes this wine:

Saturday, November 25, 2023 - 2015 Clos Solene Cuvee Jean - 97% Syrah and 3% Viognier. This was my favorite of the vintage at release and this is the first bottle we have opened since. Coming along great and immediately get that classic smoky, meaty Syrah characteristic reminiscent of Northern Rhone. Good acidity, lighter tannin and body than I remember. Really enjoyed this vintage CJ since it wasn’t as “fruit forward” or “big” as other years. The decanting really let this open up and would say drink now if you enjoy more fruit forward vintages of CS but could easily go for 5-10 years.
