Sourced from the Jax Estate, a 2.5-hectare site with silty loam soils at the base of Mt. St. Helena in Calistoga, this wine was aged for 22 months in 66% new French oak. A stylish, easy-going red, it showcases lush dark berry fruit and sandalwood character. On the palate, the wine offers a satiny texture with plump, supple tannins, finishing with notes of crushed walnuts and a lingering richness. A nicely composed, high-value red, this bottling reflects Jax's commitment to quality and accessibility. In 2012, Dan Parrott became a proprietor of the Jax brand and began working alongside winemaker Kirk Venge, further refining the estate’s signature style.

Tart cherry, candied plum, and blackened spices linger through notes of cacao and fresh cracked pine. This Cabernet Sauvignon fills the mouth with melting tannins carry into a long finish.

A luscious, relaxed wine that’s so soft you wouldn’t think it’s a cabernet until the finish, where a touch of tannin comes in. Plump blueberries, blackberries, dark chocolate and vanilla bean on a full body with a broad, plush texture. Drink now.
