2017 Ellman Family Vineyards Jemma, Oakville, USA Clairette du Languedoc both exotic in its savoryA 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
