Jack and Jamie Davies revived the historic vineyards and cellars in 1965, with a goal to produce world-class sparkling wines. Today, their son Hugh, continues their mission. A blend of 88% Pinot Noir and 12% Chardonnay with stone and berry fruit aromas and earthy spice. On the palate the light mousse shows cherry, apple and raspberry flavors with biscuit and slight baking spice notes. Lingering finish, lively acidity ending with creamy yeasty tones. — 9 years ago

Blackberry, mint and bramble on the nose. On the palate this was a bit of an enigma. At first it was hot and alcohol but then transformed into an inky and spicy finish. — 10 years ago

Love that he put Pritchard Hill right on the bottle. Really good but needed hours of decanting and was still a little tight. Put away for a while. — 10 years ago

Heidi Barrett killed her 2009 release which was the 5th release overall for this wine. This vintage is 46% Merlot, 21% Syrah, 15% PV, 14% Cab, 4% Can Franc. I'm usually not a fan of heavy Merlot in a blend, but this wine is silky smooth in the mouth with wonderful rich fruit. The 2009 is my favorite VP so far. — 9 years ago

I'm not a whiskey drinker, but when I do this is always my choice. The strength of whiskey is nicely balanced with honey, which you can definitely taste here! Perfect neat, or with ice or as a hot whiskey for cold weather. — 9 years ago

Drinking beautifully, this is their regular pinot that outpaces a number of "reserve" offerings from other wineries. Was a bit fruit-forward a couple of years ago, but has really integrated over the past two years. — 10 years ago

Big value play right here. Medium bodied dry and oaky cab. Pretty big for the price - pair with some charcuterie or a nice steak and impress the guests. — 11 years ago

The Kenzo estate made by Heidi Barrett (no relation to Kenzo fashion) A Japanese owned Estate in Horse Hills appellation Napa Valley. Sauvignon Blanc (Musque Clone) is sensational- aromatics of lychee, fresh apricot, guava and texture that is as refined as the architecture is restrained. Polished, perfumed and profound. 96 points — 12 years ago

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

Renwood Winery 2013 Jack Rabbit Flat Zinfandel

Strong aromatics of black currant and anise are woven together with crushed raspberry, sweet cream, and hints of cedar. On the palate, the layered complexity of this wine is complimented by its excellent weight and balance, making it a signature Jack Rabbit Flat Zinfandel. Fresh and teeming with black cherry and hazelnut, this Zinfandel will evolve beautifully in the bottle for years to come.

100% Zinfandel.

1995 vintage Zinfandel. Firm upper cork gave way a bit on the inside lower half inch but removed it all with a little care. That cork was Tight for twenty years. Must have been bold when young. It was pale light red, almost heavily faded but smelled sweet. Not as sweet to the taste but a mellow and a hint of cranberry after airing out. Dry. — 11 years ago

2004 out of a 1/2 bottle... Still with plenty of life & years to age, the wine showed concentration, complex integrated flavors, & was well balanced, rich, & delicious. Cassis, cocoa, blackberry compote, pepper... quite the example of Heidi Barrett styled Napa Cabernet. — 11 years ago
