2011 Jezebel Oregon Blanc
12.5% alc., 595 cases, $14, screwcap. Riesling, Pinot Gris and
Gewürztraminer are co-fermented in stainless steel with periodic lees manipulation. 7% Pinot Blanc
and 3% Muscat are included.
·
This is a wine fashioned in the style of California’s Caymus
Conundrum and equally appealing. Nearly clear in color, this wine offers an array of scents including
muscat grape, white peach, banana and guava. A crowd pleaser with flavors of white peach and
tropical fruits with modest richness and length. The flavors are most akin to Pinot Gris of all the
varieties included. At 12.5% alcohol, one can enjoyed a few chilled glasses of this wine with no
repercussions. A great apperitif. Good.

2011 Jezebel Oregon Pinot Noir
12.5% alc., 1,900 cases, $18, screwcap. A blend of fruit from Willamette
Valley vineyards and vineyards in the Applegate Valley of southern Oregon. Cropped at 2 to 3 tons per acre.
Mostly aged in neutral French oak with a small portion in stainless tanks.
·
Moderately light reddish-purple color
in the glass. Oak-dominated nose with delicate aromas of darker red cherries and berries. Shallow, but
pleasing flavors of deep red cherries finishing with a dry, tart cherry skin flavor. Very light and delicate with
bright acidity, showing a topcoat of oak. Decent.

2005 Jezebel Willamette Valley Pinot Noir
Second label of Daedalus Cellars that was founded by Peter Rosback and Aron Hess. A blend of several vineyards.
·
A big, dark muscular wine with notable tannins. Dark fruits dominate the nose and juicy fruit flavors. Finishes with a tug of tannin and lively acidity. Recently bottled and will flesh out with time. A good match for hearty food.
