Winemaker Juan Jose Verdina has lived up to his mis- sion to coax out the best in their grapes— yielding wines that are delicate and balanced, yet bold and distinct. With an impressive pedigree as past Enologist, Cellar Master, Bottling Line Supervisor and Assistant Winemaker for Hahn Estates, Copa del Rey Wines and Cycles Gladiator Winery under his belt, Verdina was reunited with company President Bill Leigon—also previously at Hahn Family Wines for 12 years. Verdina was born in Chile, where he earned his degree in Agricultural Engineering from INACAP Tabancura in Santiago; now, he leads a team committed to quality throughout all of the Jamieson Ranch Vineyards brands: Reata, Light Horse, Whiplash and Jamieson Ranch. One of several offerings that are available on tap, the Jamieson Ranch Vineyards 2013 Double Lariat Cabernet Sauvignon is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petite Sirah aged 18 months in 100 percent French oak. Fruit forward with a luscious mouthfeel and lengthy finish and flavors that linger on the palate like the cooling fog and delicate breezes that waft in from the nearby San Pablo Bay. Double Lariat leads the charge for a line-up of high- end Cabernets Verdina is crafting for the future. 130 / the tasting panel / january-february 2016 More like double dense, double chocolate and double espresso, with a playful side of cocoa-dipped plums and raspberries. Barrel-fermented and barrel-aged, it lassos in an oak-laden creaminess and an intense ride to its spicy finish. 92 —Meridith May, Publisher's Picks, March 2015
