At an elevation of 600&#8211;800 feet above sea level facing almost due south, the rocky soil provides excellent drainage forcing the vine roots to extend deep into the soil for both moisture and nutrients. The stressing of vines and intense sun exposure provides the grapes with earlier ripeness than those found on the valley floor.<BR><BR>Making wine was not always founder Rick Jones&#8217; intention. Seven acres of Clone 8 Cabernet Sauvignon were planted between 1991 and 1993 on 110R rootstock. During the 1994 and 1995 vintages the grapes from these vines were sold to Stags Leap Winery for inclusion in their Cabernet Sauvignon. When Rick tasted the unblended juice from his own grapes in 1996, he decided to stop selling his fruit and become a winemaker. <BR><BR>In 1998, the Jones purchased a three-acre hillside vineyard of Cabernet vines and small plantings of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. The fruit from these three acres is used to create the wines under The Sisters label.<BR><BR>The combination of our unique hillside location, elevation and sun exposure creates wonderful fruit that our vineyard management team and winemaker craft into our special wines.<BR><BR> <BR>Vineyard Manager and Winemaker<BR><BR>David Abreu has been managing the Jones' vineyards since 1995. His reputation grows with each harvest from the vineyards he manages (including Abreu&#8217;s own Madrona Ranch and Araujo&#8217;s Eisele Vineyard.) Robert Parker has included David in his list of the most influential wine personalities of the last 20 years. David&#8217;s focus on quality is without equal in the Napa Valley. Judicious crop management, rigorous pruning, and an uncompromising focus on producing the finest fruit from our location yields less than two tons per acre each harvest. The resulting intensity of flavors in the grapes is reflected in the final wine. <BR><BR>Heidi Peterson Barrett crafts some of the most outstanding Cabernet Sauvignons made in the Napa Valley (including her own La Sirena label, Screaming Eagle, and Showket). In 1998 Robert Parker listed her as only one of two US based wine heroines and dubbed her the &#8220;first lady of wine.&#8221; As the winemaker for Jones Family Vineyards, she has had complete control over the transformation of the grapes into both the Jones Family Estate Cabernet Sauvignon and The Sisters.<BR> <BR></P> <BR clear=left><BR><P><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/napawineco/Product534 TITLE="Jones Family 2003 &quot;The Sisters&quot;, Napa Valley"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/napawineco/images/sisterst.jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Jones Family 2003 &quot;The Sisters&quot;, Napa Valley" NAME="Jones Family 2003 &quot;The Sisters&quot;, Napa Valley" BORDER=0></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/napawineco/Product534 TITLE="Jones Family 2003 &quot;The Sisters&quot;, Napa Valley">Jones Family 2003 "The Sisters", Napa Valley</A> -- <B>$65.00</B> -- Jones Family Vineyards was established in 1995 as a family run partnership with the singular focus to produce the finest cabernet from our proprietary vineyards.
