Jada Vineyard & Winery Description
On the west side of Paso Robles, on Vineyard Drive is the hilltop winery and vineyards of Jada. The winery grows and crafts Bordeaux and Rhône blends. The vineyard was established in 1999, when Jack and Robyn Messina purchased the land with their sights set on making olive oil. They quickly decided to diversify and plant grapes and later, in 2005, created a winery.
The old barn on the property lent itself perfectly to a gravity flow winery. The living space above the old horse stables was converted into a contemporary tasting room, and the stables below converted to become the barrel room.
Jada produces their Jersey Girl Syrah, a Bordeaux blend with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Verdot fruit, a non-traditional Rhone blend with Syrah, Cabernet and Merlot and a 100% Syrah.
The modern open air tasting room has an acid stained concrete tasting bar and a great deck to enjoy. The friendly staff will guide you through the wines paired with fine cheeses from Paso’s local cheese shop, Vivant. You can sample Jada’s Tuscan-style olive oil made from olives grown on the estate.
Jada Vineyards Wine making description
The 2005 "Jersey Girl", named for Robyn's proud roots, is Syrah harvested from the tops of the hills. The fruit was de-stemmed and whole berries were gravity feed to 1.5 ton open top fermenters. Following a five day cold soak the wines underwent a slow 14 day fermentation. Cap management consisted primarily of punch downs with an occasional delistage. The wines were basket pressed to 80% French and 20% Hungarian Oak barrels of which 50% were new.

Jada Is Awarded the Following from Stephen Tanzer!
2007 Hell's Kitchen Paso Robles ($48; 54% syrah, 25% tannat and 21% mourvedre) Inky ruby. Exotic scents of red and dark berries, black olive, minerals and violet; smells like a powerful northern Rhone wine. Creamy black raspberry and cherry-cola flavors stain the palate and are framed by velvety tannins. The violet note returns on the finish, which is strikingly sweet and persistent.91 points
2006 Passing By Paso Robles ($38; 95% cabernet sauvignon and 5% merlot) Saturated ruby. Smoky, pungent aromas of dried red berries and cherry, with notes of anise and rose adding complexity. Dusty tannins add support to the deep red- and blackcurrant flavors, which are given spine by zesty minerality. Manages to be ripe as well as nervy, and finishes with good clarity and spicy persistence.90 points
2006 Jack Of Hearts Paso Robles ($42; 45% cabernet sauvignon, 40% petit verdot and 15% merlot) Deep ruby-red. Youthfully primary dark berry and cherry skin on the nose, with complicating notes of cracked pepper and minerals. Tightly wound on entry but loosens up and gains sweetness with air to offer lush black raspberry and boysenberry flavors. Finishes with impressive clarity and a strong kick of Asian spices. This is drinking very well right now.91 points
