Tuesday, July 15, 2008 - JBVino...you have it all wrong. ;-)

We popped a bottle and let it air out for about an hour. Paired with filet mignon and prime rib at Sundance Steakhouse in Palo Alto last night. While it didn't have the interesting character of the '96 St Supery Meritage challenging it, the La Jota was still very enjoyable. Very much a food wine, but not overly tannic or woody. Quite the contrary, there was plenty of evolving fruit on the palate and pleasant floral/berry aromas drifting from the glass. Somewhere between medium and full body. Overall, a good bottle of wine and I'm pleased to see this hold up so well.
