2013 J GREGORY EXTOL PROPRIETARY RED NAPA VALLEY
Tasting Notes from Master Sommelier: “You just know from the moment this wine kisses your lips… it’s really something special. This brilliant expression has an exquisite nose of wild crushed ripe blackberries, alluring red currants, dried herbs and smoke. Impressively structured with a beautifully supple approach, the rich, viscous, velvety texture perfectly frames the opulent layers of bing cherry, brooding mountain berries and cassis. Then comes a breath of sweet pipe tobacco, green herbs and sweet vanilla oak. The supple fruit tannins perfectly balance a mesmerizing flow of precisely orchestrated fruits, then ending with a long, elegant, mouth watering finish.“ Kevin M. Vogt, 97 POINTS
Do you ever look back at an iconic wineries first release price and kick yourself for not loading up? Just think, when OPUS ONE released their inaugural 1979 vintage and it was $50, and the most expensive California wine at the time. Now, 36 successful vintages later and it’s $350/btl and still ranks among the most expensive wines in Napa Valley. You’re not going to find OPUS ONE at $50 or $55 ever again, but we just found the next best thing… J Gregory’s is made by Mark Jessup who was on the original winemaking team at OPUS ONE from 1979 through 1987. His “Extol” Proprietary Red is his version of OPUS ONE…
