Classic varietal identity. Pungent aromas of hay alongside orange rind and apricot. Crisp, lemony flavors.
Citrus highlights spike a nose of pear and apricot. Vanilla character comes up with air and becomes more influential on the creamy, full palate. Big, satisfying, and in the classic K-J style.
Lovely silky texture and good weight in the mouth. The long finish of mint, earth, and chocolate flavors will leave you craving another glass.
A light, refreshing style. Best while the fruit's fresh and lively; drink now to 1995.
Has a wonderful sense of harmony and finesse, with spicy, peppery cherry and raspberry flavors playing off toasty, buttery oak notes. Fine balance, crisp acidity and a long, fruity finish. Tasty now, but should hold well through 1998.
Fruity and fresh, this is soft and light in texture, with definate vanilla overtones on the finish. Drinkable now.
Ripe blackberry and cherry fruit with great structure and balance and a long, smoky finish.
Their best Pinot Noir to date. Voluptuous.
Those who like opulent, lusty Chardonnays with a honeyed, pineapple fruitiness must taste this. Explosive richness and huge, luscious finishes.

A supple, cedary cabernet.
A bit of oaky richness adds to the broad fruit in the nose.
Highly recommended.
Smooth, rich, delicious and slightly buttery, with good acidity and a long, spicy finish. A lot of Chardonnay for the money.
A solid effort, with ripe currant, cherry and spicy oak flavors, but also has a leathery, barnyardy edge. Balanced and ready to drink now.
Pleasing sappy, appley fruit with cinnamon and spice notes.
The only wine that the four-person panel on which I sat unanimously agreed should get a gold medal.
This deep colored wine's immediate appeal lies in its spicey vibrant bouquet reminiscent of herbed-smoked meats. Full-bodied and nicely extracted, mint, olive, and black cherry flavors come into play on the palate. Black pepper jazzs up a velvety finish.
This fresh, lively wine offers appealing, lemony apple aromas and flavors.
Fresh, bright and lively, showing layers of apple, spice, honey and butter flavors that turn smooth and elegant, picking up hints of pineapple and toast on the long, lingering finish. Delicious now through 1995.
Soft, supple.
Spicy and lively, with honey, pear and vanilla flavors that are focused and harmonious.
Scents of pear, melon and nectarine. A pleasant roundness on the palate.
Light and crisp, with appealing apple and spice aromas and flavors and a lean, lively finish. Drinkable now.
A quantum leap. An intense, tasty merlot.
