2006 Jones Family The Sisters - USA, California, Napa Valley (12/17/2011)
How is it possible this has returned to youthfulness, at least in the nose? It’s all sweet primary blueberries, ripe black plum and cassis. Palate has a creamy purity with tons of richness, elegance and seduction. Black currant, plums and blackberries reign; some graphite, cocoa and cardamom are showing themselves as well. The tannins have resolved nicely, so forget what I said about being bottled yesterday. Balance is ultra deft and finish remains true to the good things I spoke of. Interestingly, this is somewhat different tonight than I remember it, but nothing less than spectacular still.
This has remained one of my favorite wines in this vintage. It’s all about being pure & true. Just grabbed 2 more last month and I will always purchase them as I find them; it’s a good plan. (95 pts.)
