Steve Distler, owner of Arnyca, is doing consulting for a few small labels out in Napa. As I've posted before, his Arnyca cab franc is my favorite out of Napa Valley. He was the former GM at O'Brien Estate and was able to add them to his portfolio, along with Cobden Wini (winemaker for Arnyca and winemaker at O'Brien), Frias Family and Jack Winery. Killer line-up of small production stuff. We hosted him for a wine dinner and all of it was stellar.

Jack Winery utilizes the talents of Aonair winemaker Grant Long Jr. Jack was started by Vernon Wells (former MLB player) and Chris Ianetta (current MLB player). This '14 cab is from Diamond mountain and drinking well at a young age. Not as monstrous as young Howell Mountain cabs. Red and black fruit dominant with a decent amount of espresso and pepper. Needs to rest for a few years but has very good potential to be extremely good. — 9 years ago

Awesome cab. Explosion of red fruit on the palate, turning dark on the finish with tar and spices. Floral nose, powerful mouthfeel with a nice touch of tannin.. I'm going to have to look more into these guys. — 8 years ago

Best red I've ever had in my life. Totally unbelievably smooth. More delicious with every sip. Thank you to my cousins for sharing a glass. — 10 years ago

Pale yellow color. Clear. Strong pear flavor? High acidity yet mildly sweet. Really hits the back and side of the tongue. Smokey after taste with a long finish. — 12 years ago

Juicy, succulent with layers of texture. Black cherry and licorice with smoke, vanillin, and red rose petal. Really unique palate.. smooth and almost airy but with a beautiful cherry fruit texture. Blind, I would have guessed this to be the spring mountain, honestly. 100% single block Oakville vineyard. Nothing like regular oakville and I love it for that. — 8 years ago

Bright ruby red with a super dark core. A little spicy on the nose with tons of floral notes. A bit chalky too with graphite and plush red fruits. Moderate tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus bodied. Dry with dark raspberries on the attack with some graphite and rocks in the medium plus finish. Drink till 2020.

Interesting blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Syrah and 5% Merlot. — 9 years ago
