Jekel Vineyards

Medium bodied Pinot Noir with rich layers of cherries, rosehips, and lavender herbs. This Pinot Noir has beautiful richness that will exceed your expectations

For those who prefer the "sideways" way of life, here is the elegant Jekel Pinot Noir with pairings that would please even the most finicky food and wine lover.

Jekel produces a fine off-dry; slightly sweet Gewurztraminer wit pleasing citrus, rose petal aromas and flavors.

85 PTS WINE ENTHUSIAST. The '01 Jekel Vineyards has tons of upfront cherry, blackberry and jammy black raspberry fruit; a likeable wine; it's dry, with a nice bite of tannins; good balancing acidity.

The 1998 FOS Chardonnay is full bodied and exudes tropical fruit and apricot aromas followed by pineapple, peach and toasty oak spice flavors with considerable depth. A fine balance of fruit and oak.

GOLD MEDAL, 2012 SAN DIEGO INT'L WINE COMP. Dances on the palate with a light and well-balanced style. Tart fruit in the finish.

Dark and ripe, Jekel has made a very good Petite Verdot, a grape that is seldom seen in the marketplance as a seperate varietal.

Sweet and well-balanced, the Jekel Late Harvest Johannisberg Riesling is delightful wine for fresh fruit desserts.

89 PTS WILFRED WONG. A really fine effort, the perfectly ripened '09 Jekel Vyds Merlot starts out with a bright red fruit aroma and finishes, with a seductive mix of beautiful berry flavors.

The Jekel Vyds Riesling has fresh, floral, ripe citrus aromas and flavors. Medium bodied and easy on the palate.

The Jekel Chardonnay is lively and fresh. Shows pleasing textures on the palate with a well-balanced effort.

The Jekel Cabernet offers red fruit flavors and soft, subtle tannins; drinks easily.
