Item Description

A Collection from the Wine Library of Jones Family Vineyards – 3 of the Greatest Napa Valley Vintages of the Previous Decade, in Magnum:

--One 1.5L 2013 Jones Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

--One 1.5L 2014 Jones Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

--One 1.5L 2015 Jones Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

For three vintages in a row, 2013, 2014, and 2015, Mother Nature smiled on the Napa Valley wine harvests and delivered bountiful crops of amazing quality. The growing seasons were marked by healthy rains, few frost nights, and uniform growing days which yielded fruit showing great balance of acidity and sugar, gorgeous colors and optimal flavors. Many were reminded of the 80s in Bordeaux when they called it “The Three Glorious Vintages”.

Whatever you call it, the Napa Valley was blessed and winemakers had generous quantities of fruit to work with, despite an ongoing drought and an earthquake thrown in just for an additional challenge.

Here are those three fabulous vintages of Jones Family Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon, made from estate grown grapes planted on their picturesque property located in the sun-drenched eastern hills of Calistoga. And, they are yours in magnum, just right for a grand celebration.

Wine critic Robert Parker describes the Jones Family Vineyards Cabernet as follows: …“Sumptuous aromas of sweet blueberry, blackberry and cassis fruit, licorice and toasty background oak… with full-bodied power, stunning purity, concentration, and texture…This wine is indeed a sumptuous expression of its singularly magnificent terroir … and superior winemaking."

Here, you have an opportunity to taste for yourself—a 3-year collection of Jones Family Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon, crafted by Top Gun winemaker, Thomas Rivers Brown.

Don’t wait too long to bid—this auction lot is a buy-out, every year!
