2017 Ellman Family Vineyards Jemma, Oakville, USA Ken Wright Aromatic floral nose of primrose

Aromatic floral nose of primrose and orange blossom

the reserved nose reveals currant and cassis marmalade notes along with a subtle ash and cedar layer

which ends clean and refreshing with a quenching drive

but more masculine and with a smokier minerality

finishing long and latent

2017 Ellman Family Vineyards Jemma, Oakville, USA Ken Wright Aromatic floral nose of primroseA step up, the 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Jemma comes from a small part of the Vine Hill Ranch vineyard and was brought up all in French oak. Its a beautifully concentrated, medium to full bodied Cabernet that has classic notes of dark fruits, chocolate, lead pencil and a beautiful sense of gravelly minerality. Its almost Graves like, has terrific balance, and is going to keep for 10 15 years with no issues. 93 Pts Jeb Dunnuck
