Our recent visit to Zakin Wines was nothing short of extraordinary. Nestled atop 150 acres of Howell Mountain terroir, the estate offers a stunning panoramic view of Napa Valley that takes your breath away.
We had the pleasure of sampling the exceptional wines, skillfully crafted by renowned winemaker Philippe Melka and proudly presented by owner Jan Zakin. Jan's passion for winemaking shines through in every bottle, reflecting her dedication to creating world-class wines.
The estate, where Jan and her husband Jonathan realized their dream, is a testament to their commitment to excellence. Their daughter Tatiana, who shares their passion for wine, is poised to carry on the family legacy.
We were treated to a unique private tasting of their exquisite wines in the elegant dining room, overlooking the picturesque property. The 2021 Russian River Chardonnay was a delightfully smooth start, and we couldn't resist taking a bottle back home. The 2021 Hillside Cabernet Sauvignon and the 2019 Howell Mountain blend were both outstanding, showcasing the unique terroir of the estate.
Our experience at Zakin Wines was truly exceptional, thanks to the combination of breathtaking views, exceptional wines, and the warm hospitality of Jan and her husband. We left eagerly anticipating our next visit and the opportunity to discover more of their incredible creations.
