Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Last December, I mistakenly indicated the 2003s had been bottled, but in fact they were not bottled until April, 2006. The outstanding, more elegant 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Select exhibits excellent balance between its sweet tannin, heady glycerin, and concentrated, finesse-styled palate. Black currant, tobacco leaf, smoke, and pain grille characteristics are found in this delicious Cabernet.

In 1997, their dream became a reality when Perry and Carolyn sold their computer business and founded Juslyn Vineyards on a site overlooking the renowned Spring Mountain Winery. (The name, Juslyn, is derived from the names, Justine-the Butlers' daughter-and Carolyn.) In 1998, they made their first vintage of Juslyn from grapes purchased from Andy Beckstoffer as they waited patiently for their own vines to mature. Their patience paid in 2000, when they were able to harvest their estate for the first time to produce 80 cases of Spring Mountain cabernet sauvignon.
Since then, there has been no turning back. Perry and Carolyn have committed to making the best wine possible in the heart of Napa Valley's acclaimed Spring Mountain District. Having received 90+points from accredited publications like Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (December 2003) and Wine and Spirits Magazine (August 2004), the Butler's are proving that they are on the path of success and truly living the American dream.
