From old vine, Bordeaux varieties in the most exposed parts of his vineyard, Jean Michel crafts a wine that has hints of eucalyptus mingling with aromas of black fruit, forest floor and freshly picked mushrooms. Lots of minerality on the palate with red berries and plum. Elegant upon release after many years in barrel and bottle, this wine will reward now but will only get better with time.

More about Kabaj

When asked how he makes his wines, Jean Michel Morel of Kabaj responded: "Who cares? Do you like the wine?"

Not quite what you would expect from a Bordelais with an enology degree. Prodding only gets you answers like "Wine is art", "Wine is food", "Wine is history". Eventually you just start drinking; it's what he wanted in the first place.

You start to see his point. Why pull back the curtain and ruin the magic with talk of macerations, presses, racking and barrels?

And who needs it, the script is a great one: Jean Michel met and fell in love Katja Kabaj working a vineyard in Friuli. Her family owned vines over the border in Brda, Slovenia. After marrying they convinced Katja's father to stop selling grapes to the co-op and in 1993 they made their first vintage.

Jean Michel's second love are the orange wines of his neighbor Gravner. To master his magic tricks he went straight to the source: Shavnabada, a 12th century monastery in the Republic of Georgia, with a bit of experience making orange wine. All of his wines are now made with skin contact, combining ancient and modern techniques. Skins are utilized to highlight the varietal and terroir -- tannins are never the focus just another structural element of a very complete wine.

It honestly doesn't matter how he does it. The answer to to Jean Michels second question is a resounding: Yes. I do like the wine!
