Jessup Cellars 1997 Lauer Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $39
Cherry cough drops in a pleasant way on the nose, and then a medium-berry mouth, spice, light cedar and raspberries—there’s a whole lot going on here. Not heavy on the complexity; rather it delivers clean fruit and simple spice.

Jessup Cellars 1999 Port (Napa Valley)
- $25
Richly textured with plump, ripe, silky tannins. The wine kicks off with a burst of chocolate, then settles down to reveal black cherry, cassis, backberry and spice flavors. Long and lush to the end.

Jessup Cellars 1998 Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $28
A lighter, more accessible style. Has that Dry Creek wild-berry and spicy fruit, and soft, friendly tannins. Rich, spicy and balanced. Not a blockbuster, it just offers lots of pleasure.

Jessup Cellars 2001 Merlot (Mount Veeder)
- $38
A nice, juicy red wine with some well-ripened cherry, coffee, cocoa and herb flavors and firm, rich tannins. Dry, and finishes with a mixture of astringency and sweetness. Be careful to decant this wine for several hours.

Jessup Cellars 2000 Reserve Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
- $28
A bright textured wine, redolent of cherries, herbs and spice. Tannins are a bit robust, while the finish is a touch hot and short.

Jessup Cellars 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $45
Smells rather reduced, but that may age out. In the mouth, the cherry-berry fruit is paired with earthy, herbal notes, wrapped in tough tannins. Not likely to improve with age.
— S.H.

Jessup Cellars 2001 Zinfandel (Napa Valley)
- $28
Starts off with an unattractive smell suggesting sulfur or dirty socks. In the mouth, there’s a fine wine, but the odor is impossible.
