Jax Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 (75cl, 14.8%)

Jax Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 is a 100% Cabernet Sauvignon from Calistoga, Napa Valley, California, bottled at 14.8% ABV. JAX Vineyards farms estate vineyards in Calistoga, where warm days and cool evenings allow full phenolic ripeness while retaining balancing acidity. The 2017 vintage was aged for 22 months in French oak barrels, with approximately 65% new wood, then bottled unfined and unfiltered. The nose opens with ripe blackberry and cassis, then forest floor, bacon fat and dessert spices, with a mocha-vanilla thread. The palate is rich and concentrated, with juicy black cherry and dark plum, thick structured tannins, dried herbs and subtle chocolate. The finish is long and layered, with dark berry, dried herbs and vanilla oak sweetness.
