Introducing the Highly-Anticipated John Anthony Vineyards 2025 Spring Release
Spring has arrived at John Anthony Vineyards, and with it comes the eagerly awaited 2025 Spring Release. This exceptional collection features eight limited-production wines, each a masterful expression of our acclaimed Napa Valley estates. From vineyard to bottle, these wines reflect the meticulous care of our team and the character of our remarkable terroir. Quantities of these handcrafted wines are limited and offered on a first-come, first-serve basis. Please secure your selections early.
Leading the 2025 Spring Release are the highly-demanded John Anthony Sauvignon Blancs: the 2024 John Anthony Carneros Sauvignon Blanc and the 2024 John Anthony Church Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc. Both wines hail from Napa Valley’s Los Carneros AVA, renowned for its cool climate and ideal conditions for crafting elegant Sauvignon Blanc. The 2024 John Anthony Carneros Sauvignon Blanc is a vibrant expression of the Los Carneros AVA and delivers an exquisite balance of freshness and complexity. Fermented in stainless steel, pronounced aromas of ripe citrus, green apple, and white peach are complemented by subtle floral notes leading to a crisp, clean finish. The 2024 John Anthony Church Vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is sourced exclusively from Church Vineyard, this single-vineyard Sauvignon Blanc is a showcase of terroir and meticulous winemaking with a gentle fermentation in French oak barrels. Aromas of tropical fruit, passionfruit, and lime zest intertwine with delicate herbal undertones for a rich, textured experience balanced by a refreshing acidity.
Next in the 2025 collection is the refined and expressive 2023 John Anthony Reserve Chardonnay. Sourced from our historic Jameson Canyon estate, acquired by John in 2021, this wine embodies the rich character of its unique terroir. Its striking golden hue signals aromas of baked apple and ripe pineapple. On the palate, vibrancy and richness of flavor and texture extend through to a lingering finish. This Reserve Chardonnay is a testament to our dedication to crafting wines of exceptional depth and elegance.
The 2025 Spring Release continues with the extraordinary 2021 John Anthony Coombsville Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon—a wine that truly stands out in this collection. Sourced from our small, four-acre Coombsville Vineyard estate, this head-trained and dry-farmed site yields fruit of remarkable fruit concentration and quality. The 2021 vintage is both refined and powerful, expressing the character of the vineyard. With its exceptional depth, this Cabernet Sauvignon is a true gem that embodies the essence of Coombsville and the artistry of John Anthony winegrowing and winemaking.
Next in our Spring Release are three exceptional single-vineyard Cabernet Sauvignons from the Oak Knoll District. Beginning with the smallest of our Oak Knoll estates, the 2021 John Anthony Epps Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon stands out for its rich, dark fruit character and structural complexity. The vineyard’s superb drainage enhances the intensity and nuance of the fruit, resulting in a wine of remarkable depth. With only four barrels produced each year, this ultra-limited Cabernet Sauvignon is a rare expression of this tiny vineyard.
Following is the 2021 John Anthony GnR Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. From just two and a half acres of gravelly benchland soils in the Oak Knoll District, the GnR Vineyard yields small quantities of intensely concentrated Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2021 vintage showcases refined tannins, vibrant acidity, and an impressive balance, even in its youth, promising remarkable cellaring potential for decades to come.
The third Oak Knoll District wine in our Spring Release is the 2021 John Anthony R&D Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Spanning just under four acres, the R&D Vineyard's rich volcanic soils are renowned for yielding Cabernet Sauvignons with high energy and powerful structure. The 2021 vintage evolves gracefully, revealing layers of fruit, spice, and tannin that harmonize with vibrant acidity.
The collection concludes with the 2021 John Anthony Vineyards Reserve Syrah, crafted from a micro-block at Crane Vineyard—one of the first sites John planted to the Hermitage Clone of Syrah nearly 25 years ago. This remarkable wine boasts complex layers and an elegant structure, supported by a dense, rich core and soft, supple tannins that evolve beautifully with time. The Syrah is the perfect finale to our 2025 Spring Release.
Embodying John’s commitment to heritage, winegrowing, and winemaking, the 2025 John Anthony Spring Release is a celebration of the world-class Napa Valley wine region.
