    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.

    Big, young wine. Much swirling needed to bring out the nose in glass. For me, lacking a bit on the finish. Again, TRB style on display.
