Jones Family Vineyards

Jones Family Vineyards is a winery located in Calistoga, within the Napa Valley AVA. The winery is known for its non-interventionist winemaking style, as described by Thomas Rivers Brown, who has been the winemaker since 2005 and was named Food and Wine Winemaker of the Year in 2010. This approach involves minimal use of technology and a focus on preserving the natural characteristics of the grapes. The vineyard is situated at an elevation of 700 feet, making it one of the highest in Calistoga, and produces 100% Cabernet Sauvignon wines that reflect the unique flavors of the hillside terroir. The winery's flagship wine is a single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon from the Premiere Napa Valley auction, with only 60 bottles produced. This rare wine showcases the best barrel selection from the estate in 2014 and features black fruit notes and cocoa undertones. Thomas Rivers Brown's philosophy of "doing as little as possible" is evident in the winemaking process, resulting in wines that are sustainably produced and unfiltered. The tasting experience at Jones Family Vineyards is not explicitly described on their website, but visitors may be able to arrange a private tour or tasting through the winery's contact information.
