I was very happy to see that these wines from Jones Family Vineyard have come together very nicely over the last year. Thomas Rivers Brown makes the Jones Cabernets in a rich style that conveys the natural intensity of Calistoga nicely. I often have a slight preference for the Sisters over the Estate, as the Sisters has less of overt oak signature. The 2016s, which I tasted from barrel, are full of promise.

These four wines from Jones show the natural heat and intensity of this Calistoga site. In both vintages, I have a slight preference for the Sisters over the Estate, especially in warm vintages such as 2014 and 2015, where the Estate can feel a bit blowsy. Those characteristics are also accentuated by cooperage choices. The Sisters gets a less intrusive barrels, while the Estate is aged in barrels that tend to add sweetness and opulence, Taransaud and Darnajou in particular. My impression is that these wines could be more distinctive with a bit less opulence, as the overt ripeness tends to mask site character.
