J Cuvee 20 NV sparkling wine from sonoma.. blend of pinot noir, chard and a touch of pinot meunier. earthy on the nose, soft mouse, more golden apple and citrus on the finish. pretty mid palate... nice wine

J Brut Rose Russian River Valley NV earhty yeasty 60% Pinot and the body is definitely heavier. interesting chocolate notes on the back... nice texture in the mousse too

J Pinot Gris Russian River Valley 2008 new label... sweet on the nose and palate but finishes a little more minerally. all stainless good viscousity

J Chardonnay RRV 2007 dark yellow.light golden color, light oak. malolactic. interesting after the morning tasting where the idea of Malolactic fermentation was scoffed at, here it is fully evolved.. yet the two wines were closer in style than one would think.. again..balance is the key.

J Pinot Noir RRV 2007 dried fruit notes on the nose, coffee and mocha on the palate. nice texture and weight.. and a nice kick of acidity at the end... trying to be more burgundian in style.
