”Jax Vineyards Russian River Valley Pinot Noir should be detailed elegant and lively and the Y3 2014 is certainly that. Pleasing to nearly every palate this wine possesses wild berry fruit dried currant and fresh cut strawberry. If a wine could taste like red silk this would be it. Bottled unfiltered and unfined enjoy to 2020 and beyond. THE STORY BEHIND THIS WINE 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! VINT
