    Winemaker Notes

    A ruby black color shimmers while expressive aromas of boysenberry, plum skin, clove, and a hint of nutmeg open up in theglass. A medium to full-bodied mouthfeel is balanced with smooth tannins and balanced acidity. Flavors of red apple dance onthe palate followed by a lingering finish of black plums and hints of peppercorn.

    Jason-Stephens, California
    Jason-Stephens Winery is located in the southern part of Silicon Valley which is in the Santa Clara Valley AVA. It is a leading high-tech winery with automated sorting systems, automated cap management, and other varied advanced winemaking equipment to ensure premium quality wine production from the historic growing region. The winery was founded by Jason Goelz who is also the winemaker. The Stephen of Jason-Stephens is Stephen Dorcich, the vineyard owner and vineyard manager, who planted the vineyard in 1986. Initially, Jason consulted with Stephen in managing the wines and sales of the wines to other high-end wineries in Napa and throughout California. That led to the eventual building of the winery on the property and the beginning of the partnership between the two. The winery opened at the end of 2008 and has been consistently growing since then.

    The success of the winery is driven by the balance in the wines’ structure. Their philosophy for the wines is to express the fruit aspect in the flavor and aromas as wine is a derivative of grapes. Their barrel selection ensures oak attributes without overwhelming the entire flavor profile. Great structure is derived from the acidity and smooth tannins. The overall balance mixed with a velvety texture and refined flavor is what makes these palate-crafted wines a memorable and enjoyable experience.

    With generous fruit and supple tannins, Merlot is made in a range of styles from everyday-drinking to world-renowned and age-worthy. Merlot is the dominant variety in the wines from Bordeaux’s Right Bank regions of St. Emilion and Pomerol, where it is often blended with Cabernet Franc to spectacular result. Merlot also frequently shines on its own, particularly in California’s Napa Valley. Somm Secret—As much as Miles derided the variety in the 2004 film, Sideways, his prized 1961 Château Cheval Blanc is actually a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Franc.
