Cabernet Sauvignon from the North Coast (Napa Valley), California, USA.

"This North Coast Cabernet is dense, balanced and precise. The evocative nose is defined by true cassis, lush red currant and espresso. The palette continues with broad structure and textured plush flavors unfolding into a lovely vibrant finish.

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 35% new, tight grained, French Oak barrels for 18 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."
