I found much to admire in these wines from Zakin. Winemaker Philippe Melka crafts wines of real distinction for proprietors Jonathan and Jan Zakin, whose small estate vineyard on Howell Mountain has shown tremendous character in just a few vintages.

Zakin is one of the most exciting new entrants in the world of top-flight Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. Philippe Melka makes these wines for Jonathan and Jan Zakin, whose small vineyard on Howell Mountain's Crystal Springs District sits near Cakebread's Dancing Bear Ranch and Dana Estates' Lotus Vineyard.

Jonathan and Jan Zakin own this small vineyard located on the slopes of Howell Mountain's Crystal Springs District, between Cakebread's Dancing Bear Ranch and Dana Estates' Lotus. The Zakins planted their 3.8 acre vineyard with Cabernet Sauvignon in 2008. It is so refreshing to see a new wine made with the courage to express the personality of site, rather than following the copy cat formulas that are so common today in Napa Valley. These are two compelling wines from the Zakins and winemaker Philippe Melka.
