Description

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 98
Winemaker/owner Scott Caraccioli draws complexity for the 2019 Brut Cuvee Escolle Vineyard from a selection of clones grown at his estate vineyard, which add tremendous length and breadth across the palate, blending 60% Chardonnay and 40% Pinot Noir. It has great structure with phenolic ripeness, and layers of salinity and oyster shell mixed with a purity of pear and strawberry. Lengthy and complex, with a hint of richness, it's gorgeous and will age another 10-15 years. Drinking Window 2025-2040.

Wine Tasting Notes

How to Serve Liquor – Quick Tips

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
