Mostly Old-World Weekend; 9/20/2012-9/22/2012 (Woodley and Cleveland Parks): I tasted this blind and guessed it only as a Jura red. It just has that Jura red mystique: the light cherry color in the glass. Aromas of sour cherries, cranberry, white pepper and raspberry bushes, a hint of black tea. The palate is really tangy with lots of minerality. Fine-grained tannins combine for an almost mouth-puckering feeling. A hint of soy and herb lingers on the finish. Gorgeous, and I imagine this will be even better in two years.

Insipid and thin, way too peppery. I don't get it

Bright red in color. Expressive nose. Lots of pepper on this natural tasting wine. Good stuff.
