2019 Jax Estate Block 3 Cabernet Sauvignon

2019 Jax Estate Block 3 Cabernet Sauvignon
The Craft
The fruit was hand picked and gently processed using our state-of-the-art Pellenc sorting and destemming system. The pristine, whole berry fruit was fermented in a concrete tank fermenter. Time on skins lasted 15-30 days. The finished wine was aged in 100% new, tight grained, French Oak barrels for 22 months. We employ a variety of cooperages for our Bordeaux varieties including Boutes, Sylvain, Taransaud, Gamba, and Alain Foquet. All Jax wines are produced using 100% native spontaneous yeast. Bottled unflitered and unfined. This wine will drink well for 15+ years.Tasting Notes
Medium to deep purple color. This wine shows great focus, an opulent "sweet" center and notes of cassis, dark chocolate, and roasted herbs. Mineral-tinged and broad on the palate, the wine displays fine grained tannings and a lush concentration. Decant or open this wine for 1-2 hours for best appreciation.Vintage | 2019 |
