After we left the Jack Creek event we went on to Jada Vineyard.  Seeing wines named “Hell’s Kitchen,” “Jersey Girl,” and “Passing By” we had a pretty good idea that we’d wandered into a touristy portal to the east coast. Lots of souvenirs for sale here.  But we persisted.  In general, we found their wines too acidic and tannic for our taste.  And with prices upwards of $30 per bottle, we weren’t quite ready to take a chance on most of them.  We did pick up a bottle of Passing By (2006, $38 per bottle), a cabernet sauvignon – merlot blend.  My tasting notes say plum and black cherry on the palate, slightly tannic, with a very slight herbal aroma.  We’re gonna age this one a year, too.
