Great scores, great wines, and minuscule production
2008 Januik Merlot Klipsun Vineyard...$29.99
Tight, focused and impressive for the depth of its cherry, currant, espresso and wet slate flavors, which are coiled tautly on the expressive finish, playing against a layer of refined tannins. Best from 2013 through 2018. 199 cases made. –HS
Rated 92/100 The Wine Spectator
2008 Januik Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia...$29.99
"Tightly wound, its blueberry, plum and crème brûlée flavors riding aristocratically over a layer of refined tannins. The finish persists and expands as it hints at mineral and wet earth. Best from 2013 through 2018. 1,553 cases made. –HS"
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator
2008 Januik Cabernet Sauvignon Champoux....$48.99
Firm in texture, lithe in structure, with tightly packed currant, boysenberry and spice flavors. Hints at sage as the finish lingers. Drink now through 2018. 377 cases made. –HS
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator
2008 Januik Cabernet Sauvignon Ciel du Cheval...$39.99
This dense red is focused like a laser, aiming its raspberry, cherry, pomegranate and star anise flavors to shine through a veil of refined tannins. Persists impressively on the expressive finish. The tannins have texture but not weight, and the finish goes on and on. Drink now through 2018. 195 cases made. –HS
Rated 94/100 The Wine Spectator
