Feminine and pretty, with hints of rose, violet and dried lavender, Jean Stodden’s J has density and heft on the palate that’s unique. It’s concentrated in ripe black-plum flavor, with a delicious, sweet-savory soy note that lingers on the finish.

Firm tannins and notes of fresh dill and toasted coconut brood against the delicate backdrop of the crisp notes of black-plums and violets. It’s an elegant wine, but slight and understated in structure.
