JAX Y3 Pinot Noir

For many years, we have looked at Pinot Noir as a distant fantasy....a varietal that we always loved but knew would be a difficult tackle. Not only is it a highly finicky grape requiring a milder climate, but also we know that pinot lovers are “die hard” fans wed to a very specific style. As hot climate Napa Valley vintners, we knew that we could not force our hand until the opportunity presented itself. Fast forward and along came our CEO Dan Parrott who had worked with some of the best producers in Burgundy before jumping on board at JAX. Dan inspired us to find the right vineyard and achieve a killer pinot!
Cool climate. Hot date.

Tasting Notes

This red cherry and wild strawberry pinot noir comes from one of the coolest sites in the Russian River Valley. On the nose you get notes of violets and red licorice. The mouth is filled with velvety rich fruit, bright acid and soft tannins. This wine becomes even more lush as it opens in the glass. Approachable now but will benefit from 4-6 years in the cellar.
