TRABUCO CANYON, Calif. – January 27, 2010 – Award-winning vintner Ron Tamez, proprietor of Hamilton Oaks Vineyard and Winery, has teamed up with newly formed Graves Family Vineyards to launch Jumping Vines, a new label of ultra-premium, low-production wines. Jumping Vines debuted two releases over the holiday season, including a crisp 2008 Chardonnay and a complex 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, which earlier this month won a “Best in Class” honor at the 2010 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition.

Better than bronze, silver or gold. In the label's first major competitive win, Jumping Vines was named "Best in Class" among the $30-35 Cabernet Sauvignons by the judges of the 2010 San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition. JV's 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (appellation: Clements Hills, CA) prevailed over one gold medal winner, ten silver medal winners and 28 bronze medal winners to take the "Best in Class" honor. 

Dating back to 1983, the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition is the largest competition of American wines in the world and a tremendous attraction for San Francisco Bay Area lovers of fine wine, food, and entertainment.

At the Yorba Linda Country Club Annual Members' Tasting, the Jumping Vines 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon beat out seven other reds, most from Napa and Sonoma, to be named number one in this blind tasting challenge! YLCC members will be pleased to know that the Cabernet has been added to the country club's wine list for 2010.
