Our Napa Valley Wines
Jonathan Edwards Winery is quickly gaining a reputation for creating premium quality Napa Valley wines. While living in Napa Valley, winemaker Jonathan Edwards carefully selected grapes from specific vineyards each chosen to enhance the grapes varietal characteristics. These vineyards were then placed under long term contracts with our winery which ensures product consistency. During harvest season our grapes are hand picked under our direct supervision, and then immediately begin their transition into wine in California. Jonathan does this to maintain optimal freshness and stability of our premium wines. The young wine is then brought to Connecticut in refrigerated trucks to begin 12-18 months of barrel aging and bottling. This allows us to bring the best the West Coast has to offer to your doorstep. Jonathan Edwards Winery currently features Napa Valley Chardonnay, Merlot, Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Petite Sirah. We also offer a Zinfandel Port and Syrah Port. These ports can only be purchased at the winery as production is limited.
Our Connecticut Wines
We also offer a full line of premium estate Connecticut wines. Jonathan has selected varietals that highlight our unique New England coastal climate. These grapes are harvested from our vineyards by hand, often by our own customers! Traditional fruit forward flavors are to be expected. Our estate wines currently include Chardonnay, Gewurztraminer , and Cabernet Franc. We will also have a Pinot Gris as our vineyards come into production.
The Vineyards
Upon purchasing the winery, previously called Crosswoods Vineyards, all of
the vineyards had to be removed due to years of neglect. As sad as that may seem, it provided an excellent opportunity to start fresh and utilize the
latest technology in our vineyards. Located nine miles from the coast, our
site provides us with moderating temperatures from the Long Island Sound
which extends the fall season for optimal grape maturation. Being perched on
the South side of a hill allows for full sun exposure for our grapes and
excellent airflow to dry off our vines after a summertime shower.
Additionally, an extensive drainage system known as "tiling" has been
installed throughout our vineyards. Every vineyard row now has a drainage
tile to allow excess water to drain down and out of the vineyard, allowing
warmer soils in the spring, increased aeration in the soil, and prevention
of excess moisture in the winter. Our vineyard is the only fully "tiled"
vineyard in New England and we believe this gives our site a distinct
advantage. Our vineyard staff devotes all of their time and energy into
making sure that each vine gets the individual hands-on attention that
ultimately leads to healthy, balanced, premium vines. We at the Jonathan
Edwards Winery believe that fine wine is truly created in the vineyard.
There will be a 10% discount applied to any purchase of one case
or more. Prices do not include tax, and shipping if applicable.

2005 Napa Valley Merlot
Our 2005 offering is sourced from a thirty-five year old vineyard on the south side of Calistoga. Older vineyards often produce more robust wines, as evident in this Merlot. A gorgeous dark ruby color is pleasing to the eye and the deep black cherry aroma paired with a long complex finish will thrill your other senses as well. This bold Merlot will continue to develop in the bottle for at least 5-8 years. Enjoy this with red pasta dishes, almost any meats and alongside your favorite cheeses.
