Rob Lloyd Consulting Winemaker
BIOGRAPHY
Hometown: All of California
Favorite Jessup Wine Pairing: Carneros Chardonnay with freshly caught Mahi-Mahi
About: Rob’s foray into wine started directly after graduating college when he came to Napa to work in a
tasting room for the summer – before getting a ‘real job’. He became fascinated with wine and the science
of winemaking and began to learn everything he could about the process.
While interviewing for that “real job”, the interviewer asked him what he had been doing with his time
since graduation. After speaking passionately and at length about wine, the interviewer said, “You seem
to love that so much. Why do you want this job?” Rob realized he didn't want it, actually. He thanked the
man, and thus began a career in the wine industry.
Rob has since earned his MS in Viticulture & Enology from the University of California Davis and worked
for many prestigious wineries including Cakebread, Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars, and La Crema. Rob began
crafting Jessup Cellars in the 2009 season and took the position of Director of Winemaking at Jessup
Cellars in 2010. He now heads up our winemaking for the Good Life Wine Collective, which also includes
Handwritten Wines
Bernardo Munoz Winemaker

Favorite Jessup Wine Pairing: 2010 Manny’s Blend with Mongolian Pork Chops from Mustards Grill –

About: Bernardo began his career in the vineyards, learning the intricacies of grape growing and how to
adjust to the whims of Mother Nature. He then moved into the cellars at Jessup Cellars, bringing us his
complete grape to bottle knowledge to the team. He has a keen understanding of what it takes to make a
great bottle.

White Wine
Our leading white wine is our Napa Valley Chardonnay from the Los Carneros region. The Truchard
Vineyard is perfectly located in the hills above Highway 12 with the San Francisco Bay influences creating
a cooler growing climate where the grapes ripen slowly and perfectly on the vine. The perfect weather
combines with an ideal terroir to create the foundation for a well-balanced Chardonnay aged for 10
months in 40% new American Oak barrels. You can shop our Chardonnay Carneros directly from our
website at
https://jessupcellars.com/shop/?view=product&slug=2022-carneros-chardonnay-current-releases We also
offer an annual harvest of Sauvignon Blanc which is sourced from North Coast vines outside of the Napa
Valley. The tropical nature of our 2023 Sauvignon Blanc is decidedly different from the typical Sauvignon
Blanc grown in the Valley and elsewhere in the World. Due to its limited supply this wine sells out quickly
each year so be sure to give us a call before visiting our tasting room to check availability. You can also
shop our Sauvignon Blanc at
https://jessupcellars.com/shop/?view=product&slug=2022-sauvignon-blanc-current-releases
The Jessup Cellars 2022 Chardonnay is a white wine that comes across as very well balanced due to the
aging being done in a combination of 40% new American and 60% neutral American Oak. This brings
hints of oak to the wine while also offering a slightly creamy mouth feel without being a butter bomb. Our
Napa Valley Chardonnay is a member favorite while the non-member price of $55 is appreciated by
enthusiasts of this quality wine crafted by Rob Lloyd. The alcohol content is 14.8% while the PH is 3.4.
Our sold out 2023 100% Sauvignon Blanc vintage is sourced from North Coast vineyards aged in 100%
stainless steel barrels which is typical for this varietal. The stainless steel seals out the oxygen and seals
in the flavors of the fruit and is a hearty 15.1% alcohol content with a PH of 3.3. While its nose and flavors
hint at tropical delights, we would not consider this wine to be too fruit forward, but rather fruit balanced
with hints of pineapple and mango. Our Sauvignon Blanc is the perfect hot tub wine for those warm
summer evenings after a long day in the hot summer Sun. You will feel refreshed after enjoying a glass or
two of our Sauvignon Blanc, non-member price of $45!
The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc pairs wonderfully with a variety of dishes, enhancing the dining experience.
For starters, it complements the flavors of Grilled Prawn Cocktail and Ceviche, accentuating the seafood's
delicate taste and brightening the citrus elements in the dishes. The wine's fruity and floral notes
beautifully complement the freshness of Tacos, making it an ideal match for this flavorful and versatile
Mexican dish. Lastly, the wine's high acidity and fruit-forward character provide a delightful contrast to the
creamy sweetness of a Peach & Burrata salad, creating a harmonious and memorable pairing.

Red Wine
Jessup Cellars offers a number of red wines across a range of varietals, from Pinot Noir and Merlot
blends from the Truchard Vineyard, to blended Cabernet Sauvignon from both the Napa and Alexander
Valleys, our Mendocino Rougette combining Grenache and Carignan varietals which we refer to as our
'Summer Red', to the ultimate expression of the 'Art of the Blend" with our Juel and Table for Four Red
Wines. We also offer 100% Zinfandel from 134 year old vines in the Mendocino region and our own 100%
Petite Sirah grown in the Wooden Valley in Southeastern Napa County. We also offer some seasonal
favorites, led by the popular whimsical Manny's Blend which should be released later in 2024 with a very
special label.
What makes our Pinot Noir unique from typical Pinot is the added element of the Jessup 'Art of the Blend'.
While it is 96.7% Pinot Noir with fruit sourced from our favorite Los Carneros Truchard Vineyard, our
master winemakers blend in a little (3.3%) of our own Petite Sirah from our vineyard in the Wooden Valley
area of Southeastern Napa County and age it in 50% new French oak for 10 months The alcohol content
of this vintage is 14.8% with a PH of 3.45.This gives our 2021 Pinot Noir a much bolder color, very
different from your typical light and bright Pinot you may be accustomed to. This also adds body to the
wine which has become a member favorite at Jessup Cellars, priced at $70 for non-members. You can
shop Pinot Noir directly from our website at
https://jessupcellars.com/shop/?view=product&slug=2020-pinot-noir-current-release
Jessup Cellars 2019 Rougette is the perfect blend of Spanish varietals including 87% Grenache and 13%
Carignane, both coming from our Mendocino growing region which is particularly suited for what we refer
to as our 'Summer Red'. This beautiful wine of co-fermented Grenache and Carignan varieties greets you
with opulent aromas of sweet strawberry, ripe cranberry jam, red plum, cassis, and nutmeg. We age this
wine by co-fermenting the varietals for 15 months in used (neutral) Chardonnay barrels and delivers a
14.9% alcohol content with a PH of 3.35. The non-member price is $60. The palate is wonderfully dry and
lifted with fresh acidity and silky, rich tannins. Flavors of brambly, ripe fruit make this wine exceptionally
palatable and food-friendly. Enjoy it with duck confit, mushroom risotto or an assortment of softer
cheeses. Drink now or cellar 2-3 years.
Jessup Cellars has a history of making fine big Zinfandels, but the 2020 Pacini Vineyards 100% Zinfandel
from the Talmage Bench in Mendocino County is decidedly different than your typical Zin, with the grapes
for this wine coming from 134 year old "ancient vines". Brimming with nuances of ripe cranberry,
pomegranate, cherry cola, white pepper, and vanilla, this wine offers soft tannins with a nice, long finish.
This wine is aged for 15 months in used (neutral) Chardonnay barrels with an alcohol content of 14.9%.
The price is $60 for non-members. Pair with pastas, barbequed meats or just pour yourself a glass and
enjoy on its own. Drink now after decanting or age for up to 9 years. If this sounds interesting, you can
shop our 2020 Zinfandel Pacini from our website directly at
https://jessupcellars.com/shop/?view=product&slug=2020-pacini-zinfandel-member-wines
Our 2019 Jessup Cellars Merlot is from the Truchard Vineyard in the Los Carneros region of the Napa
Valley which enjoys the San Francisco Bay influences that also envelope our Chardonnay and Pinot Noir.
The terroir is ideally suited for a full bodied Merlot and like many of our wines, our Merlot is reflective of
the 'Art of the Blend' by our winemakers. The 2019 Merlot is 80% Merlot, 16.5% Cabernet Sauvignon
from the Chiles Valley AVA in Northeastern Napa County and a splash of our Petite Sirah (3.5%) from the
same location finishes the wine perfectly. Our merlot is aged for 22 months in 40% new American/French
oak with an alcohol content of 15.1% with a PH level of 3.55. This wine drinks well now, however, will
continue to age gracefully for another 5-8 years. We recommend trying this delicious Merlot with roasted
chicken and vegetables or beef bourguignon. Non-members can pick up our 2019 Napa Valley Merlot for
$70. If your are interested in buying this, you can purchase this Merlot from directly our website at
https://jessupcellars.com/shop/?view=product&slug=2019-merlot-current-releases
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a staple of most Napa Valley winemakers with Jessup offering our
2019 Cabernet Sauvignon for 2024. As with most of our red wines, our winemakers exercise 'The Art of
the Blend' by starting with 90% Napa Valley fruit from the Chiles Valley AVA in Northeastern Napa County,
then blend in 5% Petite Sirah from the same AVA, 3% Merlot from our Truchard Vineyard in the Los
Carneros region, then finish it with 2% Cabernet Franc, which is the parent grape of both Cabernet
Sauvignon and Merlot, often used in blended wines. Cabernet Franc originated in the Bordeaux left bank
region of France and to honor that provenance, we age our 2019 Jessup Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon in
80% new French oak for 22 months. Alcohol content in this varietal is 14.9% with a PH of 3.65. You can
purchase our 2019 Cab for $90. The palate of the wine matches the aromatics providing juicy fruit flavors,
rich tannins and a long finish. This wine drinks well now however will age gracefully for the next 5-8
years. Enjoy this Cabernet Sauvignon with a quality cut of beef or any dish that has a nice smoky/fatty/or
charred quality. If you are interested in buying our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, you can shop it
directly from our website
https://jessupcellars.com/shop/?view=product&slug=2019-napa-valley-cabernet-sauvignon-current-releas
es
Jessup Cellars has also created a 2018 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon with 96.5% Cabernet
grapes, finished with 3.5% Napa Valley Petite Sirah fruit. This wine has a very different nose and mouth
feel than our 2019 Cabernet, presenting a dry, more tannic finish which still feels young but full bodied as
it crosses your palate. You could lay this bottle down for another 5-8 years as you wait for it to soften, but
if you want to drink it now, we encourage you to pair this wine with a nice Filet Mignon or other red meat.
Our Alexander Valley Cabernet is aged in 50% new French oak with an alcohol content of 14.9% and may
be purchased for $90 for non-members. If you want to try our Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, you
can shop it directly from our website at

2019 GRAZIELLA SANGIOVESE BLEND is sold out
$95.00
"Graziella" is one of the most unique wines that we produce. This harmonious blend of Sangiovese and
Cabernet Sauvignon is one of our smallest production wines which makes it a very special treat for
whoever is able to get their hands on it! Our 2019 "Graziella" showcases a perfect balance on the nose
and palate, expressing aromas and flavors of strawberry, red plum, raspberry, vanilla, and rose petal.
The mouthfeel is bright and has just the right amount of acidity which makes this wine a wonderful
compliment to a variety of dishes. Pair "Graziella" with red sauce dishes like lasagna or spiced meat
dishes like lamb with rosemary. Drink now or cellar this wine for another 5-8 years to see how beautifully
it develops.

Jessup Cellars 2019 Juel Red Wine is one exploration of the ultimate 'Art of the Blend' expression. Juel is
named in homage to the Father of one of our owner families which is of Norwegion origin. Our
winemakers have built a Jessup favorite with this wine composed of 56% Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon and 14% Cabernet Franc, with Merlot figuring heavily into the blend at 24% from our Truchard
Vineyard fruit. The wine is finished with 2% each of Petite Sirah, Petite Verdot and Malbec, all from the
Napa Valley. Jessup Cellars' 2019 "Juel" Blend is a harmonious composition of varietals, a testament to
the artistry of winemaking. This wine is a celebration of balance, with its blend of dark fruit, baking spices,
and earthy elements coming together in perfect unison. Approachable yet age-worthy, "Juel" is a sensory
journey that invites you to savor the intricacies of each sip. Pour a glass, and let the symphony unfold.

2019 TABLE FOR FOUR CABERNET BLEND
$115.00
"Table for Four" is our celebrated and signature Cabernet Sauvignon-based blend and is anxiously
anticipated by both guests and staff alike each year upon its release. Our 2019 vintage carries on the
tradition of comprising a wine of distinction and depth, with layers of complexity to titillate any wine
enthusiast. With notes of ripe black cherry and blackberry on the nose, the luscious fruit is accompanied
by warm and inviting aromas of baking spice and dark cacao. An intriguing layer of subtle floral and
herbal undertones enhances the complexity, with violet, anise, and a hint of spearmint adding nuance to
this incredible profile. The palate sings with harmony as the fruit and spice components interplay, and
fine, compact tannins give this wine the structural integrity to age for many years to come. With a lovely
lingering finish, enjoy this wine now for a vibrant experience on the palate, or cellar it to increase its
nuance in years to come.
The origin of the Table for Four name started with a “spine wine” bottle presented by our winemaker to
two of the owner families on a visit to the Napa Valley. A spine wine refers to a bottle without a label and
the winemaker asked the group to take the bottle out to dinner and try it with different foods. Each person
at the table tried a different dish and were surprised to find that the wine went with everything they paired
it with…hence the name Table for Four.
WINEMAKER NOTES
Composition: 61.8% Cabernet Sauvignon, 26.5% Cabernet Franc, 4.2% Petite Verdot, 3.5% Petite Sirah,

Jessup Cellars has introduced our new grown 100% Petite Sirah beginning with the 2021 vintage as a
standalone wine, while also using it extensively in our 'Art of the Blend' winemaking process going
forward. Our 2021 Petite Sirah offers a captivating sensory journey with a complex blend of flavors and
aromas. The wine opens with luscious notes of blueberry and tart cherry, creating a vibrant and fruity
introduction. Pomegranate adds a touch of brightness, complemented by the subtle sweetness of brown
sugar and the deep richness of cassis. The influence of bourbon and sour mash emerges, contributing a
layer of complexity with hints of oak and a delightful cake batter essence. Notes of plum jam adds a
comforting touch of sweetness, while cracked pepper brings a subtle spice that enhances the overall
profile.The wine showcases robust yet approachable tannins, providing a structured backbone that
promises aging potential. Bright acidity adds a refreshing quality, balancing the richness of the fruit and
contributing to the wine's overall harmony. The finish is long and satisfying, leaving lingering impressions
of cedar, licorice, and the delicate essence of raspberry. To say the least, there is a lot going on with this
sublime wine. This wine is aged for 22 months in a mix of used (neutral) French and American barrels
and is our "hottest" wine with an alcohol content of 15.6% with a PH of 3.65. If this sounds interesting,

Fortified and Port Style Wines

Jessup Cellars makes a few fortified vintages of their Zinfandel Port and also offers a 100% Cabernet
Sauvignon dessert wine. Jessup Cellars is currently offering our 2013 100% Zinfandel Port fortified with
Brandy. Some of the most unique and long-lived wines in the World are Port wines. Paying homage to
tradition, Jessup Cellars has always been known for making quality small batches of Port style wines from
Zinfandel and Cabernet Sauvignon grapes with its Infinite Recursion Tawny dessert wine, currently in its
13th reflection. The 2013 Zinfandel Port is just another phenomenal addition to that family. Boasting bold
aromatics of ripe raspberry, leather, and spice on the nose, followed by vanilla and red plum that dances
on the palate. The finish is strong yet balanced making this a perfect match for blue cheese, dark
chocolate or a Maduro cigar. Drink now or cellar for 7-10 years. This delicious wine has an alcohol
content of 19.5%, so a little goes a long way. Pricing is $65 dollars for non-members.
13th Reflection Tawny dessert wine. Crafted in the traditional Solera method, this rich and lush dessert
wine offers pronounced aromas of stewed cherry, dried fig, chocolate, and baking spice with a kiss of
sandalwood and cedar. A decadent and juicy palate of mixed berry preserves will make a perfect digestif
after a rich meal. Deliciously sweet yet fresh,this wine will pair with desserts like chocolate lava cake or a
cheese course of ripe, aged, salty cheeses. Enjoy it now or cellar for 10-15 years. The Infinite Reflection
13th Recursion is 100% Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 12 years in French oak with an
alcohol content of 19.5%. Non-members may purchase this wine for $85.
The Solera method is a traditional aging and blending process commonly used in the production of
fortified wines, including dessert wines like Sherry and Madeira. Here's how it works:
Tiered Stacking: The process begins with a series of barrels or casks arranged in a tiered system called a
"solera stack." The bottom row contains the oldest wine, while subsequent rows contain progressively
younger wines. Fractional Blending: Each year, a portion of wine is drawn from the bottom row of barrels
for bottling. This creates space in those barrels, which are then topped up with wine from the row above.
The process continues up the stack, with each barrel being partially emptied and then replenished with
younger wine. Aging and Maturity: Because the barrels are only partially emptied each year, a portion of
the older wine always remains in the barrels, contributing to the complexity and depth of flavor. Over time,
the younger wines gradually blend with and inherit characteristics from the older wines.
Consistency: The Solera method ensures consistency in the final product, as the blend of wines remains
relatively constant over time. Even though some wine is removed for bottling each year, the overall
character of the solera remains consistent due to the blending of older and younger wines.
Perpetual Process: The Solera system is designed to be perpetual, with new wine continuously added at
the top and matured wine drawn from the bottom for bottling. This allows producers to maintain a
consistent product while also ensuring that some of the original wine remains in the solera stack,
sometimes for many years or even decades. Overall, the Solera method is a meticulous and
time-honored process that results in complex, well-balanced dessert wines with layers of flavor and
aroma.

Lavender, a French Country Inn started life in the 1850s as a country farmhouse on Capt. John Grigsby's
ranch southeast of Yountville; it is one of the oldest homes in the Napa Valley. The house was moved to
the present location in the 1860s. It was enlarged in 1905 when County Supervisor John Lee Webber
(who married Capt. Grigsby's daughter, Nancy) made the house his family's permanent residence. The
building remained in the family until Nancy Grigsby Webber's death in 1929. Eventually, the Webber
House was operated as a bed-and-breakfast inn. In the 1980s, it was granted the National Register of
Historic Places status (site #82002219). After careful renovation, the inn became part of the Four Sisters
Inns collection in September 1999, consisting of the original Webber House as well as separate cottages
on the grounds. Four Sisters Inns worked with architect George Ash, to create a feeling of space in each
cottage, giving seven of the nine rooms peaked ceilings and private outdoor courtyards.

The sister property of Lavender, Maison Fleurie was built in 1873 as the Magnolia Hotel, constructed of
stone from local quarries. A few decades later, bricks from a demolished church and a balcony from San
Francisco’s old French Hospital were added. It is the oldest hotel in the Napa Valley.
In the early days, the Magnolia was not only a place for travelers to lodge but also, according to local lore,
a bordello. With its central Yountville location adjacent to the railroad, and its popular saloon, it was a
lively gathering spot. One of the outbuildings reportedly housed a bakery for some years (the name
“Bakery Building” is still used for that part of the inn today). After years of disrepair, the Magnolia was
purchased in the late 1960s by owners who hoped to make it their home. However, the project proved too
ambitious; they in turn sold it to a couple who restored it and ran it as a six-room hotel and restaurant in
the late 1970s. In 1993, the Magnolia was purchased by Four Sisters Inns. An extensive remodel took
place the following year, with designers careful to preserve the old stone. Many of the decorative items on
the property were acquired in France, bringing authenticity to the decorative charms throughout the inn.
The inn’s lavish gardens, overflowing with roses and other colorful blossoms, led to its new name –
Maison Fleurie – which means “flowering house.” There is also a pool at the property which is enjoyed by
guests of both Lavender and Maison Fleurie.
