Since 1988, Jade Mountain has been a pioneer in the production of age-worthy RhĂ´ne-style California wines. The winery was founded with the belief that carefully chosen California vineyard sites planted to RhĂ´ne grape varieties can achieve quality on-par with the best from the RhĂ´ne region in France.
Jade Mountain creates world-class wines by pushing the limits of grape-growing and winemaking for the extract, flavor and richness that comes with the California sun and its individual expressions of RhĂ´ne varietals. | Napa, CA

2005 Jade Mountain Mourvèdre
Contra Costa County
We briefly soaked the grapes for the 2005 Jade Mountain Mourvèdre after crushing, and then fermented them for about two weeks. Following fermentation, we pressed and settled the w ... moreine, with malolactic fermentation taking place in barrel. Racking the wine after malolactic fermentation kept the clear, bright fruit up in front. We aged the wine in French oak barrels for 10 months.The 2005 Jade Mountain Mourvèdre has an intriguing smoky character and aromas of ripe black cherry and raspberry. On the palate the wine is ripe and true to type, with black-cherry flavors and subtle hints of apricot. The finish is smooth, almost creamy, with a touch of chocolate raspberry and a bit of tannin. Enjoy this wine paired with braised beef, roast pork or veal stew.

2005 Jade Mountain Syrah
Lake County
The grapes for the 2005 Jade Mountain Syrah Snows Lake Vineyard were hand harvested in the early morning, crushed and destemmed. After a four-day maceration in stainless steel tank ... mores, with daily pumpovers to extract aromas and flavors, it was racked to mostly French oak barrels and aged for 10 months to allow the flavors to integrate and evolve. It was filtered before bottling.Our Syrah opens to rich aromas of smoky wild cherry with a lovely mountain-fruit essence. On the palate, it is gentle, rich and spicy, with flavors of vanilla cream mingled with orange sherbet, black licorice and wild cherry. This very approachable wine is quite well-balanced for its age. A natural with grilled lamb chops, it also stands up wonderfully to flavorful, spicy meat dishes such as marinated skirt steak or peppery beef daube.
