There are lots of limited release wines that the majority of wine lovers will never hear about…  Juslyn’s 4 barrel production of their Second Daughter Proprietary Red is a perfect example.  Juslyn is one of the top wineries in the valley, and if you follow Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, you’ve likely taken notice.  They’re making high 90’s scores look easy… Their high-elevation Estate vineyard on Spring Mountain produces stunning fruit, and now consulting winemaker Angelina Mondavi is taking their winemaking to an even higher level.  Angelina worked alongside Jayson Woodbridge at Hundred Acre, producing stunning wines.  The 2016 Second Daughter is a ridiculously great value at it’s $65 retail price…. You may want to skip down to the order link and grab as much as you can… 

 

Combining 58% Cabernet Sauvignon and 42% Merlot, the 2016 Second Daughter conveys all of the noble traits that make Spring Mountain so desired, with a dense core of fruit, savory spices, chocolate mint and sweet mulberries.  The wine was kept in barrel for 24 months and the 2016 vintage is absolute gorgeous right now and promises another 10-12 years of enjoyment.  Just don’t wait too long to secure your case…  

 

Retails at:  $65.00/btl

 

Winery Notes: “Our first release of our Second Daughter. The wine is inspired by the chosen family and close ties between Perry, CJ and Stephanie, their “Second Daughter”. The unit has worked together since 2003, professionally and personally through countless ups and downs that only true family can survive. In 2010 each inked an inspiring Thai-scripted tattoo on their left forearm, meaning “Eternal Love”. Our Second Daughter is dedicated to the Juslyn family near and far, you always have our Eternal Love“
