Our love for music and particularly jazz inspired our name. We are focused on producing handcrafted, small-lot, single vineyard wines striving for the same richness, complexity, improvisation, and personal expression that underlie our enthusiasm for jazz.
Gold Medal Winners!
Jazz Cellars' 2006 Eaglepoint Ranch Petite Sirah just won a DOUBLE GOLD medal at the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. This is the largest tasting of American wines in the world with nearly 5,000 entries this year. A DOUBLE GOLD medal is awarded to a wine if 5 of the judges unanimously agree that the wine should be awarded a Gold medal. Our wines also picked up 4 additional medals at the competition — a SILVER medal for our 2008 Catie's Corner Viognier and BRONZE medals for our 2007 Sonoma County Zinfandel, 2007 Mendocino Syrah and 2007 Las Madres Syrah (which has not yet been released).
We also just learned that the 2006 Petite Sirah won a GOLD medal and a 91 point rating at the Beverage Tasting Institute's 2009 World Wine Championships. At this same competition, our 2007 Zinfandel won a SILVER medal and a rating of 89 points. Tasting notes from the competition are available for the Petite Sirah and the Zinfandel (just click the links).
