Robert Parker Winery Estate Review It seems to me that Juslyn is still somewhat under the radar for many wine consumers, but this is irrefutably an up-and-coming serious producer on Spring Mountain. Perry and Carolyn Butler, who own this magnificent 42-acre estate halfway up Spring Mountain, continue to fine-tune and increase the quality of their wines as the estate vineyards come into production. Their estate fruit is supplemented by purchases from some of the top growers in Napa, especially from Andy Beckstoffer’s vineyards in Napa. These wines have come on strong over the last three or four vintages, and they are brilliant examples of elegant Bordeaux-styled Cabernets, with freshness, outstanding aging potential, and beautiful purity and depth.
96 Point Review - Robert Parker The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Estate (94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot) offers aromas of sweet blueberries and black currants intermixed with floral and crushed rock-like notes. Very cool climate in its mountain style, yet dense, rich, multilayered and long with sweet tannin, it will be drinkable early in life and last for 15-20 years.
91 Point Review - Antonio Galloni The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon flows across the palate with dark red fruit, licorice, spices and savory herbs. This delicate, understated Cabernet shows terrific balance in an understated, mid-weight personality. Structurally appears to be a wine to drink over the medium-term. Anticipated maturity: 2013-2020.
