I seem to be on a recent kick exploring rarely seen and exceedingly special wines. This time, it’s “Juliet”. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2021 “Juliet” pours a straw color with medium viscosity. On the nose the wine is developing with matchstick for dayzzzz. There’s an abundance of fresh, ripe passion fruit, star fruit, peach, white flowers, lemon verbena, and minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and the texture is out of this world. Incredible. Drink now through 2041. — 4 months ago

Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark berry fruits, oak and floral notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, cherry and plums with tobacco and herb spice. Firm grippy tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak, spice and mineral character. Ok but Juliet better! — 4 months ago

This was very well grown (Crozet) and produced (by Chris)- this was delicious and while it didn’t mimic Argentinian Malbec, it did offer varietal difference than CF or CS… I really let this run until I had the right meal to pair it with… 14.5 years is a long time, but it stood the test of time so a big high five — a year ago

Drank without decanting. Light on the nose and a smooth sweet taste on the tongue. Fruit flavors and not intense at all. Great wine and well named! Day 2: sweet fruity smell with more of an alcohol scent. As I taste it, I still taste fruit but it is a bit more acidic. Still good overall but not the same as day 1. — 6 months ago
