Jones Family Vineyard
Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
I had high hopes for this given the winemaker is TRB, but alas it was nothing special. Some oak, some tart citrus, dry - it's not bad at all, I just expected more.

Jun 25th, 2017This is one confusing wine. I expected an herbaceous wine with some influence of oak but not THIS much. Blinded my fiancee and she called napa chardonnay. There is almost no evidence of it being sauv blanc, if you really search, there are thiolic grapefruit compounds going on but barely. If you love malo and oak this wine is for you!

Oct 24th, 2016A very nice SB. Pours a light to medium straw color in the glass. Viscous. The nose is peach and honeysuckle and a hint of lemon. Full bodied SB from the start with a soft, rich mouthfeel. Peach, pear and lemon cheesecake. Sharp acidity still from front to back with great finish and went well with Calamari, Salmon and a spicy fish dish. Probably would have paired well with lemon cheesecake since this note is in abundance on the front.... but it was GONE before it got to that. If this isn't current vintage, it's only one vintage off...these are typically held back a few years and I think that does these WELL. Bravo Jones Family.

Dec 15th, 2018This vintage seems much better than other reviews. Nice citrus fruit on the nose. Very smooth. Aging nicely.
