February 23, 2022 - This is a beautiful wine. This seems to be a trend this week. My wife and I Ruth are taking 2 weeks in the Galveston, tx area eating great food, escaping winter and enjoying fine wine. That stated, I decanted this wine 90 minutes. This baby still has life, but it is drinking great right now. I would guess another 5 years at least. The legs are many, short and slow. The wine appears garnet colored. There is light sediment in the bottle. It smells like ethanol and verbena with a pleasant finish. The body is full. The wine has fleshy texture with rounded tannins. The wine finishes very long. One of my favorite vintners. I scored this without looking at the community and the community score ended up dead on. Great job crew.

October 12, 2019 - Wine dinner with hedonists (Metropolitan Grill, Seattle): Pop and pour. The 2008s seem to be singing right now and this is no exception. The Jacquelynn is made in a feminine style with fine tannins and beautiful balance. Delicate notes of licorice and chocolate peek through the cassis, on a bed of firm acidity. I was surprised someone else brought this wine as it seems to fly under the radar. Wine of the night by consensus among 10 tasters.

February 25, 2019 - Decanted and served. Evolved beautifully as tightly wound black fruit blossomed into high-toned blackberry liqueur floating on refined tannins and acid. Long finish of cassis and toasted earth. Quite a bit of salinity and minerality that some will love and others will not. Showing well now for my palate.
