Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2035, Jeb Dunnuck, Aug 2025

The 2023 Strayts is 91% Merlot and 9% Petit Verdot, aged 15 months in 47% new French oak. It shows a vivid ruby/plum hue and a great nose of ripe red and black cherries, currants, candied violets, and peppery, leafy herbs. This medium to full-bodied effort is plush, plump, and supple on the palate, with tons of charm and character. Drink 2025-2035. Jada Vineyard is located in the Willow Creek District of Paso Robles, just off Vineyard Drive, and produces a wide range of estate-grown wines spanning Rhône and Bordeaux varieties, along with single white and rosé offerings. The portfolio includes varietal Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon bottlings under the Empire and Jersey Girl labels, along with proprietary blends such as SawBones, Jack of Hearts, and Passing By. Additional small-lot offerings include Merlot, Tannat, and a rosé based on Grenache. The Sauvignon Blanc program sources from Vogelzang Vineyard in Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara and is bottled under the Lotus Eaters label. The wines are made by Joshua Harp with some blending help by Nate Hall, with aging in a mix of new and used French oak, Austrian oak, and stainless steel, depending on the cuvée. Beginning with the 2023 vintage, the Empire series replaces the former WCS bottlings as the top-tier releases for Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon.
