 A Jump Of Stupid Wine Reviews
2003 - Titus Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon |
Titus stays consistent |
| Nov 12, 2007 |

| Wet stone and dark berry nose, with some raspberry and strawberry trying to emerge through the tannins. Heavy blackcurrant and redcurrant on the nose with some nice mineral. Good tannin and balance. Nice finish. This is drinking pretty delicious now, but it can go 5-10 more years easily I think. I believe this wine has the potential to show some further nuances with time in the bottle and probably raise its score a bit. It's very well made. As the night went on, blackberry and cigar box flavors really started to emerge and the tannins softened a bit. Another good year for Titus Cabernet. |

2004 - Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon |
A different style of Karl Lawrence |

| Not up to par with the 1999, 2001 and 2003 Karl Lawrence but still a very good wine. Definately a little different style then past KL's, this one is more backwards and old world. A little more tannic and less of a fruit bomb then I remember in past KL's. Dark and inky. The nose has a nice blackberry, currant and metallic quality. A bit hot on the attack but after a long decant the fruit starts coming through nicely and you can tell the wine has good structure. Hold on to this one and try in a couple of years and I think it's score will raise with some bottle age. Tasted from a 375ml, I'll be saving my other bottles for a few years, I think this one will age gracefully. |

2001 - Constant Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon |
90 Pts |
| Nov 12, 2007 |

| This wine isn't peaking yet, the tannins still have a tight grip on this wine. Dark and inky garnet in the glass. Nice nose of blueberry, blackberry, black cherry and floral hints. On the palate it's somewhat hot on the attack and the fruit is a bit muted. What does manage to break through the tannin grip is currant, blackberry, black cherries and dried cranberries. Nice lingering finish, this wine has good structure to age a long time. Wait a couple of years, nice Diamond Mountain cabernet that isn't quite ready yet. |
