Jax Vineyards Y3 Pinot Noir 2016

This burgundian style Pinot Noir coats the tongue with plum, fig, overripe cherries, and a touch of oak. Seductive and focused, this wine offers a lingering suppleness and elegant earthy character through the finish. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, this wine will shine over the next 5-7 years.

Jax Vineyards is owned by siblings Kimberly and Trent Jackson. The brother sister duo were inpsired by their father, David who purchased a 28-year old, dry-farmed Calistoga vineyard in 1995. David had no intention of venturing beyond being a vintner. However, his children had different ideas. Shortly after David purchased the vineyard, his son Trent made his first attempt to make his first vintage by hand picking a second harvest from father's vineyard.
