Judd's Hill Winery & MicroCrush — Attraction in Napa Valley AVA

Great wineries! It was a blast to come over for their wine tasting! We were introduced about how the wines were made, the fire, and the contacts the winery made with the farmers. Such a great amount of knowledge! The wines here were extremely good. The Chardonnay and the white wines were pretty standard, with some of the mixing ones standing out as having a great ore&after taste. The ones I like the most were the 2011 mix, as it gave a little bit of bitterness initially, but it went away quickly to leave on the fruit flavors. The popular rose was fine, but a little sour and not outstanding for me. The estate was fantastic. It was definitely a very good made with little taste of alcohol, but yet you can tell the wine was deep and strong. The fruit ness of the grape mixed really well with everything else, giving you a great aroma as well as the richness of the grape - simply a condensed feeling. We had a fun blind tasting event suggested by the staff. We enjoyed it a lot and were offered with some sweet wines later on! Their sweet wine was on point, not as sweet as the ice wines I had in Canada so I bought two back. Fantastic experience in a great yard....

For my husbands 30th birthday trip he chose Napa Valley and invited his parents along. Our first day we arrived and stopped for lunch at the Kitchen Door where we first tasted "Magic" Judd Hill on tap. I was so intrigued by the wine I immediately booked a tasting at the Judd Hill Winery. This was our first Napa wine tasting and it did not disappoint. CJ was incredible, she is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful sense of humor. We laughed our entire tasting she made us feel so at home. We also met Judd who was so nice and welcoming. We left completely satisfied and with a membership of course! I loved every red we tasted at JH, we had another winery tasting later that day and although their tasting was wonderful in its own right their wine did not compare to Judd Hill. I highly recommend a visit. I hope we find ourselves back in Napa at Judd Hills but in the meantime we will enjoy our JH at home. Thanks for making our visit special and...

My husband and I came here tasting before once and decided to come back and try the wine blending because the wines were really good and they grow and source some of the highest quality grapes in the valley. Excellent time! Todd was great, the grounds are lovely, and the blending was fun and educational.

It was great being part of the entire process from blending different mixes, to drawing out the wine from the barrels, corking (with real corks), foiling and labeling. The labeling only allows for text, and features the Judd's Hill logo at the top but we are very happy with the labels! Can't wait to see how our blend ages. The components are Rutherford Merlot, Napa Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. We've been to Napa over a dozen times and this was our first blending - highly recommended!!! Can't recommend Todd our wine educator highly enough, either! Quite a...
