Does Jessup Cellars offer a 100% Petite Sirah?
Jessup Cellars has introduced our first estate grown 100% Petite Sirah beginning with the 2021 vintage as a standalone wine, while also using it extensively in our 'Art of the Blend' winemaking process going forward. Our 2021 Petite Sirah offers a captivating sensory journey with a complex blend of flavors and aromas. The wine opens with luscious notes of blueberry and tart cherry, creating a vibrant and fruity introduction. Pomegranate adds a touch of brightness, complemented by the subtle sweetness of brown sugar and the deep richness of cassis. The influence of bourbon and sour mash emerges, contributing a layer of complexity with hints of oak and a delightful cake batter essence. Notes of plum jam adds a comforting touch of sweetness, while cracked pepper brings a subtle spice that enhances the overall profile. The wine showcases robust yet approachable tannins, providing a structured backbone that promises aging potential. Bright acidity adds a refreshing quality, balancing the richness of the fruit and contributing to the wine's overall harmony. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions of cedar, licorice, and the delicate essence of raspberry. To say the least, there is a lot going on with this sublime wine. This wine is aged for 22 months in a mix of used (neutral) French and American barrels and is our "hottest" wine with an alcohol content of 15.6% with a PH of 3.65. Our estate vineyard in the Wooden Valley of Southeastern Napa County will be the foundation for our continued growth in the Napa Valley.

Our 2023 vintage is 100% Sauvignon Blanc sourced from North Coast vineyards aged in 100% stainless steel barrels which is typical for this varietal. The stainless steel seals out the oxygen and seals in the flavors of the fruit and is a hearty 15.1% alcohol content with a PH of 3.3. While it's nose and flavors hint at tropical delights, we would not consider this wine to be too fruit forward, but rather fruit balanced with hints of pineapple and mango. Our Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect hot tub wine or for those warm summer evenings after a long day in the hot summer Sun. You will feel refreshed after enoying a glass or two of our Sauvignon Blanc, non-member price of $45!

For starters, it complements the flavors of Grilled Prawn Cocktail and Ceviche, accentuating the seafood's delicate taste and brightening the citrus elements in the dishes. The wine's fruity and floral notes beautifully complement the freshness of Tacos, making it an ideal match for this flavorful and versatile Mexican dish.

What is the Solera method of dessert wine creation?
The Solera method is a traditional aging and blending process commonly used in the production of fortified wines, including dessert wines like Sherry and Madeira. Here's how it works: Tiered Stacking: The process begins with a series of barrels or casks arranged in a tiered system called a "solera stack." The bottom row contains the oldest wine, while subsequent rows contain progressively younger wines. Fractional Blending: Each year, a portion of wine is drawn from the bottom row of barrels for bottling. This creates space in those barrels, which are then topped up with wine from the row above. The process continues up the stack, with each barrel being partially emptied and then replenished with younger wine. Aging and Maturity: Because the barrels are only partially emptied each year, a portion of the older wine always remains in the barrels, contributing to the complexity and depth of flavor. Over time, the younger wines gradually blend with and inherit characteristics from the older wines. Consistency: The Solera method ensures consistency in the final product, as the blend of wines remains relatively constant over time. Even though some wine is removed for bottling each year, the overall character of the solera remains consistent due to the blending of older and younger wines. Perpetual Process: The Solera system is designed to be perpetual, with new wine continuously added at the top and matured wine drawn from the bottom for bottling. This allows producers to maintain a consistent product while also ensuring that some of the original wine remains in the solera stack, sometimes for many years or even decades. Overall, the Solera method is a meticulous and time-honored process that results in complex, well-balanced dessert wines with layers of flavor and aroma.

<s>[INST] What red wines is Jessup Cellars offering in 2024? [/INST] Jessup Cellars offers a number of red wines across a range of varietals, from Pinot Noir and Merlot blends from the Truchard Vineyard, to blended Cabernet Sauvignon from both the Napa and Alexander Valleys, our Mendocino Rougette combining Grenache and Carignane varietals which we refer to as our 'Summer Red', to the ultimate expression of the 'Art of the Blend" with our Juel and Table for Four Red Wines. We also offer 100% Zinfandel from 134 year old vines in the Mendocino region and our own 100% Petite Sirah grown in the Wooden Valley in Southeastern Napa County. We also offer some seasonal favorites, led by the popular whimsical Manny's Blend which should be released later in 2024 with a very special label. </s>
Besides Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, does Jessup Cellars offer other Cabernets?
Jessup Cellars has created a 2018 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with 96.5% Cabernet grapes, finished with 3.5% Napa Valley Petite Sirah fruit. This wine has a very different nose and mouth feel than our 2019 Cabernet, presenting a dry, more tannic finish which still feels young but full bodied as it crosses your palate. You could lay this bottle down for another 5-8 years as you wait for it to soften, but if you want to drink it now, we encourage you to pair this wine with a nice Filet Mignon or other red meat. Our Alexander Valley Cabernet is aged in 80% new French oak with an alcohol content of 14.9% and may be purchased for $90 for non-members.

Tell me about white wine?
Our leading white wine is our Napa Valley Chardonnay from the Los Carneros region. The Truchard Vineyard is perfectly located in the hills above Highway 12 with the San Francisco Bay influences creating a cooler growing climate where the grapes ripen slowly and perfectly on the vine. The perfect weather combines with an ideal terroir to create the foundation for a well-balanced Chardonnay aged for 10 months in 40% new American Oak barrels.

What white wines does Jessup Cellars offer?
Our leading white wine is our Napa Valley Chardonnay from the Los Carneros region. The Truchard Vineyard is perfectly located in the hills above Highway 12 with the San Francisco Bay influences creating a cooler growing climate where the grapes ripen slowly and perfectly on the vine. The perfect weather combines with an ideal terroir to create the foundation for a well-balanced Chardonnay aged for 10 months in 40% new American Oak barrels. We also offer an annual harvest of Sauvignon Blanc which is sourced from North Coast vines outside of the Napa Valley. The tropical nature of our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is decidedly different than the typical Sauvignon Blanc grown in the Valley and elsewhere in the World. Due to its limited supply this wine sells out quickly each year so be sure to give us a call before visiting our tasting room to check availability.
