Reviews
Jericho Canyon Vineyard 2005
Firm and chewy with dense currant, earth, anise, herb and mocha-laced oak. On the finish, the tannins clamp down, yet the flavors push through.

Jericho Canyon Vineyard 2003
Smooth, supple and harmonious, with layers of red currant, blueberry and loamy earth that lay on the palate, gaining complexity and nuance on the finish. Very complete. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2007 through 2011. 466 cases made.

Jericho Canyon Vineyard 2002
A rich, sophisticated style, with layers of ripe currant, wild berry and black cherry fruit. Yet for all its size and density, it’s impeccably balanced, finishing with a dash of espresso and mocha. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2007 through 2012.

Jericho Canyon Vineyard 2001
A ripe, plush, generous style, with a rich core of spicy plum, blackberry and wild berry fruit. Achieves a wonderful balance among its opulent flavors, subtle, toasty oak shadings and big yet supple tannins. Finishes with a complex network of flavors and textures. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2006 through 2012. 475 cases made.

Jericho Canyon Vineyard 2001
First at Rudd and then under his own name, consulting wine guru David Ramey made this vineyard renowned for top-flight Cabernet Sauvignon. This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc boasts a dense ruby/purple color along with a classic perfume of crème de cassis, licorice, smoky oak, and spice. This medium to full-bodied, rich, full-throttle, nicely-textured, tannic 2001 should drink well for 10-15 years.
