Expert Review - Vintage 2023

JamesSuckling.com by Stuart Pigott writes 94 Points | With its aromas of nutty, old-fashioned apple varieties and ripe quince, this striking dry riesling is an unspectacular beauty. It’s medium-bodied with a wonderful harmony of silky acidity, a hauntingly subtle minerality and a very long, stony finish that somehow manages to be very gentle. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. 

Winemaker Description 

The nose here is just a shade riper, with tart citrus flirting with barely ripe apricot, heading toward the peach register though highlighted by lemon curd and lemon zest, pretty citrus elements to brighten it up, even the riper twang of a lime. This has more density, for sure, more richness, though it has plenty of definition. Thinking of these wines in the context of the Rheingau is just crazy; my teeth are aching. The whole collection has acids – I should get the numbers here, if Eva hasn’t already sent them [note to reader: I never got any numbers on the acids b/c I'm just too buried in work right now]. There is a limey quality to this, sticky but fresh, gripping, that I really like. These are very damn good. 

Hans-Josef Becker’s grandfather (J.B.) founded this winery in 1893, and it is home to some truly astounding wines. The Spätlese Trocken is somehow both very serious and firmly structured, yet remains bright and affable. The old vines show incredible concentration - this wine is just a baby and could be cellared for decades. On the other hand, the 2022 vintage displays plenty of juicy, expressive fruit with crushing acidity and a bold mouthfeel. These wines have achieved cult-status for good reason.

Spicy nose with hints of black pepper and scrubland. Licorice, plum, tobacco. On the palate, red plum, cherry, friendly, fresh, very long.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Tempranillo, Syrah and Petit Verdot

The province of Malaga in Andalusia, known mainly for its sweet wines such as Pedro Ximénez and Moscatel, also grows red varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon, although to a lesser extent compared to other wine regions. Winemaker Description.

Jack Daniel's Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey — Lynchburg, Tennessee, USA (1.0L)

Jack Daniel's is the world's best-selling American whiskey — and one of the most iconic spirits brands on earth. Founded in 1866 by Jasper Newton "Jack" Daniel in Lynchburg, Moore County, Tennessee, the distillery is the oldest registered distillery in the United States and has been producing Old No. 7 from the same limestone cave spring water source for over 150 years. What sets Tennessee Whiskey apart from bourbon is the Lincoln County Process — a distinctive charcoal mellowing step in which the new spirit is slowly dripped through ten feet of sugar maple charcoal before entering the barrel, removing harsh notes and imparting the signature smoothness that defines Jack Daniel's character. The whiskey is then matured in handcrafted, new American oak barrels with a balance of sweet and oaky flavor, developing the vanilla, caramel, and toasted wood notes that have made Old No. 7 the benchmark of the category. In 1.0L format, it is the ideal bottle for home bars, entertaining, and cocktail making.

The nose is smooth and inviting: pronounced vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of caramel with the gentle sweetness of the charcoal mellowing process. On the palate, it is silky and balanced yet lush and intense — sweet oak, vanilla, and a warm, lingering finish with just the right amount of spice. A gorgeous iteration from America's top whiskey brand.

Jack Daniel Distillery · Old No. 7 Tennessee Whiskey · Black Label · Lynchburg, Tennessee

Since 1866, Jack Daniel's has been made the same way in Lynchburg, Tennessee — a town of fewer than 7,000 people that somehow produces one of the world's most recognized spirits. The secret is the Lincoln County Process: before aging, every drop of Jack is slowly filtered through 10 feet of sugar maple charcoal, mellowing the whiskey in a way that no other American distillery replicates at this scale. It's what separates Tennessee Whiskey from bourbon — and what gives Old No. 7 its unmistakable smoothness. Handcrafted barrels, cave spring water drawn from the hollow below the distillery, and a tasting panel that decides when — not the calendar — when the whiskey is ready. That's the Jack Daniel's way, unchanged for over 150 years.

Old No. 7 pours a warm amber with a nose of vanilla, toasted oak, and a hint of banana. On the palate: smooth and approachable with caramel, brown sugar, and a touch of rye spice, finishing with a gentle warmth and that signature charcoal-mellowed softness. Sip it neat, on the rocks, or as the backbone of a classic Jack & Coke or Lynchburg Lemonade. At 80 proof and $29.92, it's the benchmark Tennessee Whiskey — and one of the best values in American spirits.

150+ years of the same recipe, the same hollow, the same charcoal — the original Tennessee Sippin' Whiskey.

Producer Description 

Sinatra Select pays tribute to Jack’s biggest fan: Frank Sinatra. It is made with our unique “Sinatra Barrels” that have deep grooves, specially carved into their staves to expose the whiskey to extra layers of toasted oak, balanced with our finest Tennessee Whiskey. This added exposure imparts a rich amber color, bold character, and pleasant smokiness, punctuated by an incredibly smooth vanilla finish. Much like Frank, this Whiskey is one of a kind. 

Jacob's Creek Classic Shiraz — South Eastern Australia (Magnum 1.5L)

Producer Description 

Cleopatra Oro is a Grappa obtained from very fresh marc, featuring a refinement and bouquet rarely found in a distillate. A brief stay in oak barrels completes the structure. Cleopatra Oro Grappa should be served cool. It has floral, fresh fruit and citrus, honey, and confectionery aromas. This Grappa has a smooth, clean and elegant taste. 

Producer Description 

Jacopo Poli Torcolato is a clear grappa with a full spectrum of aromas: dates, dried apricots, raisin, honey and sweet spice. On the palate, the depth is incredible, rich and persistant?the flavors continue to evolve well into the finish.

Producer Description 

The bouquet offers smells of tropical fruits and baking spice. Entry is minerally, pleasantly ripe, viscous in texture; the midpalate point is earthy, floral, stony and off dry. Finishes gracefully, minerally and drier than the midpalate. 

Winemaker Description 

Sarpa, the bridge between the past and the future. This Grappa was conceived in 1983, but it took a few years to see the light of day. The goal was clear in my mind: a Grappa to encase the aromas of Tradition, but without the typical flaws of old fashion Grappas, often stingy, aggressive and oily. It had to be an authentic Grappa, sincere and genuine, what one would now call a classic Grappa.

Moreover, it was meant to be a bridge between the Grappa of the past and the Grappa of the future, representing the present of Grappa with its best typical features. It took some time to figure out which vines to use and after various trials I turned to the timeless Bordeaux blend, that mix of Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot that gave rise to the best wines in the world, the Bordeaux wines.

These vines have successfully been grown in the Veneto region for a long time and it seemed just natural to use them to try to produce a symbolic Grappa, the Grappa that should have embodied years of experience and passion. 

Sarpa di Poli has a robust, almost rustic character, with pleasantly grassy scents that remind of freshly cut grass, an aroma of wine and red flowers like geranium, rose and violet that make it a timeless classic.

Producer Description 

The 18-98 Family Solera was founded in 2001, keeping aside every year 7 barrels of Grappa until 2014, thus reaching 98 barriques  dedicated to this product. The youngest spirit that is gradually introduced in the family solera has a minimum aging of 18 months in barrique. Since 2015 we created a blend of the various vintages, in order to obtain a Grappa featuring unique and unmistakable style throughout the years.

The Solera method is an aging system that allows the grappa to merge different years in a harmonious blend as the time goes by. The new vintage is introduced in the barriques located on the highest row in the aging cellar, while the Grappa to be bottled is taken from the row close to the soil (solera). 

The solera row is never emptied completely, but just a part of it, which will be replaced by an equal amount of Grappa coming from the second row, which will be consequently fulfilled by the third row and so on, with a series of successive passages. This way on the lowest row, a blend of older and older vintages is obtained.

The aroma recalls a little wooden box full of chocolate, vanilla, licorice and freshly roasted coffee beans.

2018 Jacques Capsouto Cuvee Marco, Grand Vin Rouge – Score: 90 Points |
This wine is a blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and 20% Syrah. The nose on this wine starts ripe, it is riper than its younger 2019 brother, the Cuvee Samuel. The blend is different as well, and there is much more oak on the Marco. The nose on this wine is ripe, it feels like a Cali Rhone wine more than how the 19 Samuel felt, with black and blue fruit, sweet oak, soy sauce, ripe plum, floral notes, dark and brooding, with roasted animal, and loam. The mouth on this full-bodied wine is ripe, balanced, with good acidity, blackcurrant, blackberry, boysenberry, nice draping tannin, sweet oak, loam, and black tea. The finish on this wine is ripe, with dense black fruit, loam, mushroom, graphite, milk chocolate, and nice smoke.

Washington State. James Suckling 91 Points | A textural, well-made and fruity white with notes of pineapple, sliced pears and fine herbs. Medium-bodied with fresh acidity, a vivid core of crunchy yellow fruit and a touch of tropical fruit on the palate. Good energy with a refreshing, flavorful finish.

Winemaker Description

This fresh, fruity, semi-sweet wine displays aromas and flavors of ripe, juicy berries with dark chocolate undertones.

The perfect balance between sweetness and acidity makes for a refreshing approachability. It is a versatile food wine, best served slightly chilled. 

Memo Summary Notes

The 2023 Jam Jar Sweet Shiraz is the ultimate "guilty pleasure" wine for those who prefer their reds without the bite of heavy tannins or dryness. Hailing from South Africa’s Western Cape, this wine specifically targets the gap in the market for high-quality, non-sparkling sweet reds. 

Jam Jar was created by acclaimed winemaker Bruwer Raats with the belief that "sweet wine lovers deserve a well-crafted option." Unlike many budget sweet reds, this uses high-quality Shiraz grapes (some from 14-18 year old vines) and avoids artificial flavors or colorings. It’s a popular choice for sangria bases or for those transitioning from sweet cocktails to red wine.

About Jameson Irish Whiskey

The world's best-selling Irish whiskey, Jameson was originally distilled in Dublin when John Jameson founded his distillery in 1780. Today it is produced at the highly versatile Midleton Distillery in County Cork, Ireland. The Jameson range comprises a comparatively high percentage of pot still spirit, giving it greater character and complexity than many other Irish whiskeys.

Tasting Notes

The nose offers an inviting combination of floral notes, orange, toffee, sherry, and spice. Water releases cooked fruits and a suggestion of linseed. On the palate, initially citric with classic Irish oiliness, deeper notes of sherry develop alongside fudge, vanilla, and warm spice. The finish is long, warming, and spicy — remaining smooth and oily to the very end.

Serve & Enjoy

Perfect neat, on the rocks, or as the foundation of a classic Jameson & Ginger, Irish Coffee, or Whiskey Sour. Approachable for newcomers and rewarding for seasoned whiskey drinkers alike.

Jasper Hill Farm sits in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont, one of the most remote and agriculturally rich corners of New England, where the Kehler family has spent over two decades building one of America’s most celebrated artisan creameries. Their Cellars at Jasper Hill — a network of underground aging caves — have become a destination for some of the finest American-made cheese, drawing on the raw milk of their own Ayrshire herd and the meticulous craft of a team that takes affinage as seriously as any fromagerie in Europe.

Caspian is Jasper Hill’s take on the Alpine tomme tradition — a style rooted in the high pastures of France and Switzerland, built for the table and the cellar in equal measure. Made from raw Ayrshire cow’s milk, it is pressed and aged to develop a natural rind that gives way to a supple, semi-firm paste with a clean, grassy aroma and the complex, nutty depth that only raw milk and patient aging can produce.

On the palate, Caspian is approachable and satisfying — buttery and smooth, with notes of toasted hazelnut, sweet cream, and a gentle earthiness from the rind. It finishes with a mild, lingering richness that makes it as comfortable on a cheese board as it is melted over roasted vegetables or tucked into a sandwich that deserves better than ordinary cheese.

• Producer: Jasper Hill Farm
• Style: Raw Cow’s Milk Tomme
• Milk: Raw Ayrshire cow’s milk
• Origin: Greensboro, Vermont, USA
• Rind: Natural
• Sold: By the ounce

Pairings: Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, dry cider, or farmhouse ale. On the board alongside charcuterie, cornichons, and honeycomb. Melts beautifully over roasted potatoes, gratins, or a croque monsieur worth eating.

Jasper Hill Farm · Harbison · Vermont

Soft-Ripened Cheese · Spruce-Wrapped · 9oz

Producer & Story

Harbison is named for Anne Harbison, affectionately known as the grandmother of Greensboro. Jasper Hill honors her contribution to Vermont’s working landscape with a cheese that combines a rustic bloomy rind and strips of spruce cambium, the tree’s inner bark harvested from the farm’s woodlands.

Flavor & Texture

The paste develops a spoonable texture during ripening and continues to soften on its way to market. Jasper Hill describes a woodsy, sweet profile balanced by lemon, mustard and vegetal flavors. Our cheesemonger Martin Johnson highlights mushroom and roasted-root-vegetable notes, with a gently earthy, smoky finish.

Cheesemonger’s Note

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger: Vermont cheesemakers have better things to do with their time than imitate traditional European cheeses; instead, they innovate upon them. Take Harbison for example, it's a classic brie, full of mushroom-ey and roasted root vegetable flavors, but it's wrapped in spruce bark, which yields a gently earthy, even smokey finish.

Serving suggestion, let it come to room temperature and slice the top off and dive in with baguette shards, flatbreads or crudite. If you don't finish the cheese, put the top back on and store in your fridge until next time. Pair with your favorite Prosecco,

Producer Description

Harbison is a soft-ripened cheese with a rustic, bloomy rind. Young cheeses are wrapped in strips of spruce cambium, the tree's inner bark layer, harvested from the woodlands of Jasper Hill. The spoonable texture begins to develop in our vaults, though the paste continues to soften on the way to market. Harbison is woodsy and sweet, balanced with lemon, mustard, and vegetal flavors.

Pairing & Serving

When younger and firmer, the bark can be peeled away for sliced portions. When the paste is soft and the bark has fused with it, leave the wrap intact and spoon portions from the top. Serve with crusty bread, flatbreads, crudités or fruit mostarda.

Choose Prosecco following Martin’s recommendation, or try the producer’s suggested oaky white wine or barrel-aged sour beer. Keep refrigerated between servings.

Cheese Details

• Producer: Jasper Hill Farm
• Cheese: Harbison
• Origin: Vermont, United States
• Style: Soft-ripened
• Rind: Rustic, bloomy
• Wrap: Spruce cambium
• Texture: Softening to spoonable
• Size: 9oz

A centerpiece cheese made for sharing, with bread close at hand.

Is it a cheddar or a Gruyere?  

The answer is both!  It's a cheddar highlighted by savor and sharp flavors, but this unique Vermonter is made with some Gruyere cheese culture which yields sweet, nutty overtones too.  It melts beautifully and pairs with your favorite red wines.  

Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger

Jasper Hill Farm Willoughby | Washed Rind | Vermont | 8 oz

Willoughby is one of the most approachable washed-rind cheeses made in America — and Jasper Hill Farm, tucked into Vermont's Northeast Kingdom, is one of the most important artisan creameries in the country. Named after the pristine lake nearby, Willoughby is made from the milk of Jasper Hill's own Ayrshire cows, washed with brine to develop its characteristic rosy rind and that signature, gently funky aroma.

Inside, the paste is fudgy, smooth, and almost molten near the rind — rich and buttery, with a complexity that belies its mild demeanor. The funk is real but restrained: pleasantly dank rather than aggressive, making it the ideal entry point for anyone curious about washed rinds.

"Fudgy, pleasantly dank, and smooth in texture, this complex Vermonter comes from Jasper Hill, the great Northeast Kingdom cheesemakers. Its slight funk makes it the perfect gateway cheese for novices new to washed rind aromas. Pair it with your favorite Chenin Blanc or Vouvray."
— Martin Johnson, Cheesemonger 67 Gourmet.

• Producer: Jasper Hill Farm, Greensboro, Vermont
• Style: Washed rind, soft-ripened
• Milk: Pasteurized cow's milk (Ayrshire)
• Size: 8 oz
• Best With: Chenin Blanc, Vouvray, dry cider, crusty bread, honey, charcuterie

Memo Summary Notes

• Complex bouquet of dark red and blue fruits (black cherry, black raspberry), floral notes (violets, potpourri), and earthy/mineral undertones.

• Palate: Full-bodied for a Beaujolais, with a seamless texture and a fleshy, concentrated core of fruit. Expect good acidity, subtle spice, and a tactile, mineral-driven finish. It has the structure to age for several years.

From over 50-year-old southwest-facing vines on sandy, granitic soils, La Croix des Rameaux is a rich and elegant Gamay made with close attention paid to managing extraction, so the wine maintains lift and energy.

Pair with

• Roast chicken or turkey (especially with herbs).

• Rich Dishes: Beef bourguignon, a savory mushroom risotto, or a hearty stew.

Jean Marc Brocard Chablis Sainte Claire Biodynamic — Chablis, Burgundy 2024

Jean Marc Brocard is one of Chablis' most respected and forward-thinking producers, farming biodynamically across his estate to honor the region's singular Kimmeridgian limestone terroir. Chablis is the northernmost appellation of Burgundy — a place where Chardonnay expresses itself with a precision, purity, and mineral tension found nowhere else in the world. The Sainte Claire is Brocard's entry point into the appellation and a benchmark for what classic Chablis should be: 100% Chardonnay, hand-harvested, naturally fermented with minimal intervention, and vinified without synthetic inputs. Nothing added, nothing taken away — just the wine and its terroir.

The 2024 pours a pale gold with green reflections. The nose opens with lemon, yellow stone fruit, and fresh citrus — clean, precise, and inviting. On the palate, it's wrapped and balanced with a tangy, layered character: Kimmeridgian minerality, crisp acidity, and a clean saline finish that makes it one of the most food-friendly whites in the shop. Serve well chilled and let the terroir do the talking.

This comes from the lieux-dits of Grands Clos and Clos Chareau, the former higher up on limestone soils, the latter lower down with more clay. Such is the demand for whites from the village, top red Chassagne is almost a dying breed. This is a fine example, satisfying in its ruggedness, yet seductive in its summer pudding fruit. Although lighter than recent vintages, this will still need a while to come together.

Winemaker Description 

100% Jacquère. The Abymes appellation sits lower and the slope than the Apremont and is on generally flatter land. Stainless steel fermentation and aging.

A firm, mineral spine and racy acidity support this wines core of lemon, verbena, peach and pear notes. This is the perfect match for fondue, raclette or a good old fashioned charcuterie plate.

Producer Description - Voyage 28

OCEAN Voyage 28 made another long run off the Baja Peninsula, through the Tropic of Cancer and down the coast of Central America. The air was hot and heavy with moisture. Rain would have been a relief but it never came.

Our transit back through the Panama Canal was swift and smooth and while it remained hot and sticky, our final days through the Caribbean and up the Atlantic coast were smooth and clear.

The humidity, dramatic swings in temperature and ever-changing sea conditions had the effect of bringing balance and richness to the complex array of flavors and tastes you will find in OCEAN Voyage 28. 

Producer Description 

Like the accomplished third President of the U.S., this bourbon is complex, elegant and sophisticated. Jefferson’s Reserve is allowed to age slowly and reach maturity naturally. This results in a rich bouquet and flavor as well as a soft round finish.

Very old. Very small batch. Jefferson's ridiculously small batch bourbon. All men are created equal. The same can not be said about bourbon. Ridiculously small batch bourbons are produced by skillfully marrying a selection of barrels of various ages. It achieves the precision of a single-barrel bottling, while ensuring the complexity and consistency expected by fine bourbon aficionados. 

We invite you to experience the unique flavor of each Jefferson's brand: Jefferson's Ocean, Jefferson's Groth Reserve Cask Finishing. Jefferson's Chef's Collaboration and Jefferson's Barrel Finished Manhattan. Like our President, this bourbon is complex, elegant and full of sophistication. Jefferson's Reserve is allowed many years to age slowly and reach maturity naturally. This results in a bourbon with a rich bouquet, color and flavor as well as a softer, more rounded finish. It's bottled at 90.2 proof to satisfy the robust taste of traditional bourbon connoisseur, yet still smooth.
