Accolades for Jumping Vines

Although Jumping Vines is a newly launched label, these wines – developed by award-winning vintner Ron Tamez – are already receiving enthusiastic praise from people who know wine. Just days after its release, the 2006 Jumping Vines Cabernet Sauvignon took first place among reds in a blind tasting event at Yorba Linda Country Club. In January, the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition named Jumping Vines "Best in Class" among Cabernet Sauvignons in the $30-35 price range.
