Tasting notes
(14.9% alcohol): Medium bright ruby. Grapey dark berries and graphite dominate the nose. Pliant, plush and fine-grained, conveying a subtle coolness and good reserve to its very dark flavors of black fruits, licorice, violet and minerals. Not hard but still a bit youthfully medicinal, this very juicy, primary wine is evolving slowly. Finishes with granular tannins that avoid dryness.

A gorgeous offering, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate comes from a hillside vineyard located between St. Helena and Calistoga. Its dense blue/purple color is accompanied by complex aromatics of white flowers, creme de cassis, blueberry pie, charcoal, and a hint of subtle oak. With full-bodied power, stunning purity, concentration, and texture, an undeniable minerality, and a 45-second finish filled with fruit and tannin, this may be the finest wine yet produced by Jones Family Vineyards. It should evolve for 20-25 years. Tel. and Fax (707) 942-0467
