Description

Jeb Dunnuck Review
Rated 90
Juicy black cherries, plums, Asian spices, and some savory herb notes all emerge from the 2021 Merlot, a forward, charming, lively red that has plenty of character. It's drinking beautifully today, and I see no reason to delay gratification. Drinking Window 2024-2032.

How To Serve

Temperature Matters: Serve whiskey and bourbon at room temperature, vodka chilled, and tequila slightly cool to preserve aroma and balance.
Choose the Right Glass: Use a rocks glass for whiskey, a flute or coupe for sparkling spirits, and a tulip or snifter for aged liquors.
Don’t Rush the Pour: Allow spirits to breathe for a few moments before tasting — it softens alcohol notes and opens complex flavors.
Savor with Intention: Sip slowly, appreciate aroma before taste, and pair thoughtfully with food or fine company.
