The "flagship" vineyard from the Kinsella ranch comes out of the gate showing you everything that is indicative of the 2017 vintage. Intense black fruits, with thickness and a density that mirrors the 2013 vintage. This wine continues to show what vine age and a world class wine maker can do!
Any vegetable or meat in the grill. Delicious with Chocolate as well.
"A step up and coming from a steep hillside vineyard, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Jersey Boys Vineyard is another full-bodied, powerful yet elegant wine that has notable complexity in its cassis and black cherry fruit and notes of black tea, savory herbs, tobacco, and earth. The tannins are beautifully polished, and it offers notable purity and freshness as well as a great finish. It's another 2016 that offers incredible quality. It too is ideal for drinking over the coming 10-15 years, and I certainly wouldn't be surprised to see it keep longer."

"There are 645 cases of the 100% Cabernet Sauvignon 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Jersey Boys Vineyard (named after the fact that the Broadway Musical “Jersey Boys” was brought to the stage and screen by the owner of Kinsella). This wine and its siblings will do a lot to establish Dry Creek as more than another viticulture area better known for Zinfandel than Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a killer Cabernet Sauvignon with dazzling fruit levels and loads of loamy soil notes intermixed with black raspberry, blueberry and blackcurrant. The superripe and pure fruit hits the palate with a full-bodied crescendo. The wine offers up notes of underbrush, unsmoked cigar tobacco, pen ink and plenty of crème de cassis and blackberry, Drink it over the next 20-25 years. - RP"
"Pure, rich and sophisticated, with a tightly focused core of dusty, gravelly blackberry, anise, cedar and licorice flavors, ending with the dusty, tannic theme that runs throughout. Best from 2020 through 2032. 700 cases made. –JL"
"Dark cherry jam, spice, leather, licorice and sweet French oak give the Cabernet Sauvignon Jersey Boys Vineyard its bold, succulent personality. This fleshy, voluptuous Cabernet will drink well pretty much upon release. Even at this early stage, it is quite showy. This is a gorgeous wine and does a terrific job expressing richness without too much oak or heat. - Antonio Galloni"
Explosive nose of blue fruits, graphite and cassis. Rich and full bodied. Blueberries, raspberries, currants and mocha on the palate. The finish is long and lush. Gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from an exceptional vintage and winemaker. On par with any other Cabernet that Thomas Rivers Brown makes. - Tom Lee"
"Kinsella's 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Jersey Boys Vineyard is soft, succulent and expressive. Dark red cherry, plum, spice, new leather and licorice meld together in a voluptuous, racy Cabernet Sauvignon built on texture. Hints of lavender, smoke and violets meld into the supple finish. Drink this open, approachable Cabernet over the next handful of years."
