Judd's Hill

Here at Judd's Hill we produce only red Bordeaux varietals, concentrating on the big three: cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. Any of our cabernet and merlot blends may show up with a bit of the other varietals according to the winemaker's artistic sense. When it comes to the king of red wines, cabernet sauvignon, we offer two versions. Our "Estate" Cabernet is vinified exclusively from the fruit grown on the surrounding hillside vineyards. Our "Napa Valley" Cabernet is a blend of our estate grapes, fruit from our neighbors, and grapes from the valley floor. Both cabs exemplify the Judd's Hill style: explosive fruit (think of that first bite from a fresh plum), easy on the palate to allow early drinking, and ageing potential as well. How are the cabs different? Intensity. Using 100% hillside fruit, carefully farmed by us, the Estate shows a bit more elegance and extraction, and is a better candidate for a rest in the cellar. The Napa Valley Cabernet is ready to go, approachable and delicious from the day of its release. Our merlot fruit is grown on the Summers Ranch in the Knights Valley, Juliana Vineyards in the Napa Valley, and an acre we have planted here at the winery. We vineyard designate the purchased fruit; the home-grown stuff usually goes into our Estate Cabernet.
