[AM - Outstanding] An elegant, pure and exuberantly spicy nose blends notes of super-fresh essence of red berries with wisps of earth, lavender and a background hint of oak. The equally pure middle weight flavors possess excellent mid-palate concentration along with an intense mineral streak while delivering stunningly good depth and persistence on the beautifully well-balanced finish. The '16 CSJ is a combination of finesse and punch and one that should age effortlessly for years. Allen Meadows
