Jett Winery: Washington's Bold New Chapter

Jackson Family Wines stepped into Washington state with Jett, their newest winery. Launched in 2021, it hit the market this fall with its first bottlings. I remember tasting these at a small gathering— the energy in the room was electric. Each sip felt like a promise of what's next for American reds.

Jett focuses on Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah from top spots like Walla Walla Valley. The star? The Jett Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley Skysill Vineyard 2022. It earned 95 points from Wine Spectator for its deep black cherry flavors, firm tannins, and hints of graphite. Priced at $150, it's a splurge worth saving for.

Other gems include the Jett Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills 2022 (93 points) with bright red fruit and spice, and the Red Mountain version (also 93 points) offering mocha and dark plum notes. All six debut wines scored 90 or higher. Winemaker Gianna Ghilarducci crafted them with precision, drawing from high-elevation sites that handle climate shifts well.

What draws me to Jett is its forward-thinking vibe. The Jacksons bought 61 acres of Skysill Vineyard in 2022 after scouting for years. It's a hedge against wildfires back in California, but more than that, it's about chasing excellence. Pair the Skysill Cab with grilled ribeye— the tannins cut through the fat like a dream.

Here's a quick look at Jett's debut lineup:

Wine	Score	Key Notes	Price
Cabernet Sauvignon Skysill Vineyard 2022	95	Black cherry, graphite, firm tannins	$150
Cabernet Sauvignon Horse Heaven Hills 2022	93	Red fruit, spice, balanced	$60
Cabernet Sauvignon Red Mountain 2022	93	Mocha, dark plum, structured	$65
Merlot Walla Walla Valley 2022	92	Plum, herb, silky	$55
Syrah Red Mountain 2022	91	Blackberry, pepper, bold	$50

These wines show Jackson Family Wines expanding their wine brands thoughtfully.

I've shared the Horse Heaven Hills Cab at dinners, and guests always ask for seconds. It's approachable yet complex—perfect for newcomers to Washington reds.

Kendall-Jackson's Sparkling Surprise

Who says California can't sparkle? Jackson Family Wines debuted their first bubbly under Kendall-Jackson in September. The Vintner’s Reserve Brut Cuvée brings fruit-forward joy at just $20. Made from Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Colombard grapes grown in sunny California spots, it's crisp and celebratory.

I popped a bottle at brunch last weekend, and it vanished fast. Think green apple fizz with a touch of brioche—light enough for mimosas, bold enough solo. No tasting notes from the launch yet, but early buzz calls it versatile. Serve it with oysters or fried chicken for a twist.

This release nods to Kendall-Jackson's roots. Since 1982, they've built one of America's top wine brands on balanced, everyday luxuries. Now, with sparkling, they tap into the growing bubbly market. It's nationwide now, so grab one for your next toast.

Beyond the fizz, check their refreshed Vintner’s Reserve Chardonnay. It bursts with green apple, citrus, and a whisper of vanilla from oak. Crisp yet creamy, it pairs with seafood or chicken effortlessly. At around $15, it's a staple in my fridge.

These new releases from Jackson Family Wines remind me why I love their approach: accessible quality that elevates any meal.

La Crema: Coastal Cool in Every Sip

La Crema has long been a Jackson Family Wines favorite for cool-climate wines. In 2025, their Monterey Pinot Noir shines with a 94-point nod from Wine Enthusiast. I tasted it on a foggy Sonoma Coast drive— the cherry and raspberry notes mirrored the landscape perfectly.

This Pinot offers vibrant fruit with earthy undertones and a silky finish. Serve at 55-60°F alongside duck or mushroom risotto. It's $30-ish and screams value.

Don't miss the new Light Pinot Noir. Lower in alcohol and calories, it's 100% California grapes with no added sugar. Ideal for lighter days, it keeps La Crema's elegant style.

From their Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022 (92 points), expect strawberry and rose petal vibes. La Crema sources from ocean-kissed vines, ensuring slow ripening for depth. The family farms 160 acres in Russian River Valley, blending hands-on care with scale.

La Crema Wine	Serving Temp	Pairing Ideas
Monterey Pinot Noir 2023	55-60°F	Duck, mushroom risotto
Light Pinot Noir NV	50-55°F	Salads, charcuterie
Willamette Valley Pinot Noir 2022	55-60°F	Salmon, soft cheeses

These picks highlight how Jackson Family Wines' wine brands honor terroir without fuss.

Marbury: Jackson's English Adventure

In a bold move, Jackson Family Wines entered the UK scene with Marbury, their first English still wine. The 2023 Crouch Valley Chardonnay launched in June at £38. Sourced from South Essex, it's dry and terroir-driven.

Whole-bunch pressing and barrel fermentation (10 months in 15% new oak) craft its profile: citrus, green apple, and subtle minerality. I sampled a preview— it felt like a bridge between Old and New Worlds, fresh yet structured.

This debut marks English Wine Week vibes. A Marbury Pinot Noir follows in 2026, plus sparklings under another label. Distributed via St. Swithin's, it's a collector's item now.

Why England? The Jacksons seek diverse climates for resilience. Crouch Valley's cool breezes yield elegant whites. Pair this Chardonnay with grilled fish or goat cheese— its acidity sings.

Exploring Marbury deepened my respect for Jackson Family Wines. They chase stories, not just sales.

Stonestreet: Elevated Reds for the Ages

Rounding out the new releases, Stonestreet's Cabernet Sauvignon from Alexander Valley wows. High-elevation vines deliver blackberry, cassis, and firm tannins. It's built for cellaring, earning praise for intensity.

At $50-60, serve at 60-65°F with steak or dark chocolate. Chris Jackson oversees this gem, tying it to family legacy.

I've aged a bottle for two years— the evolution is magic. Earthy notes bloom, making it a dinner party hero.
