Winemaker Notes

Located on the top of the Vaca Mountains in north-eastern Napa Valley, this vineyard sits at 1700 feet in between the southern end of Howell Mountain and just north of Pritchard Hill. Grown by Jay Heminway, the vines benefit from the moderating climate above Lake Hennessey. The wines are classic Napa Valley blue mountain fruit, with well-integrated tannins.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    The 2012 Zinfandel Heminway comes from a site on the top of the eastern Vaca Mountains planted at an elevation of 1,700 feet. This killer Zinfandel boasts lots of incense, camphor and meaty black cherry and black currant fruit. It is one of the sexiest, up-front, concentrated Zinfandels in this portfolio.
    Range: 92-94

Undoubtedly proving its merit over and over, Napa Valley is a now a leading force in the world of prestigious red wine regions. Though Cabernet Sauvignon dominates Napa Valley, other red varieties certainly thrive here. Important but often overlooked include Merlot and other Bordeaux varieties well-regarded on their own as well as for their blending capacities. Very old vine Zinfandel represents an important historical stronghold for the region and Pinot noir is produced in the cooler southern parts, close to the San Pablo Bay.

Perfectly situated running north to south, the valley acts as a corridor, pulling cool, moist air up from the San Pablo Bay in the evenings during the hot days of the growing season, which leads to even and slow grape ripening. Furthermore the valley claims over 100 soil variations including layers of volcanic, gravel, sand and silt—a combination excellent for world-class red wine production.
