With wood and bottle aging before release, this is a serious Pinot Noir. But even the extra polish doesn’t diminish the berry fruits and sweet, ripe tannins. The wine has a firm structure, but the juiciness is as important. ——R.V.(3/1/2010)—— 91

Aged in wood, this is a smoothly ripe wine, the Pinot Noir red fruit flavors rounded with soft vanilla, spice and balancing tannins. The acidity is already showing that this wine is developing well, giving a rich, sweet character. It has great style and will age over 3-4 years.——R.V.(5/1/2009)—— 91

A solidly structured wine, with a chalky mineral character that promises some good aging potential. This wood-aged Reserve is one of the stars of the Juris winery, a Burgundian Pinot Noir in its richness with elegance, and its tannins. Fruit is there, all red cherries, but is well integrated.——R.V.(10/1/2007)—— 90
