    February 16, 2024 - Mirror Mirror on Wall, who's the Fairest of them All? (KLWines and Flemings): This format really stresses more the winemaker. When speaking to Jayson, his approach was to move away from the SVD model and instead, showcase the winemaker and the styles of each. When asked about the vineyards, he did not want to disclose the vineyards used in the wines. Winemakers allowed to make the vast majority of the decisions, whether it is barrel choice, new vs old oak, how much juice from which vineyard, etc. Jayson was involved in the final blending for all wines.

    There is no mistaking this for a TRB style wine. Nose was a bit shy, but with swirling it comes out. Think of the movie, Hook where the kid is stretching and manipulating Peter Pan's (Robin Williams) face and then saying, "Oh there you are, Peter!" This wine was a bit slutty, sexy. A bit lacking on the finish compared to the other two 19's.
