8 People - Spring Mountain AVA Blind tasting with 4 different bottles/wineries from Spring Mtn - three 2018 and one 2017....yes we poured 32 wine glasses all at once for the blind. The Juslyn averaged 3rd place with a Newton SM in last place for all and Barnett on top for most with a Kukeri '17 sitting in second. The Kukeri though we believe is a NDA. Everyone placed the Barnett above the Juslyn, however all were very good.
I would say the Juslyn needs another year or two as it opened up it got better.

A lot of green/vegetal undertones that took away from it's potential to shine. Underlying glimpses of a nice cab lurking below the green notes.

Tasted at WL, dark color, complex flavors, good fruit, needs time, would try a bottle but pricey.
