Here at Jax, we have always viewed Pinot Noir as a distant fantasy. The grape demands mild temperatures and very specific conditions. Long story short, it's one finicky varietal. Fast forward to the arrival of our new CEO Dan Parrot, a true pinot enthusiast. Having worked with some of the best producers in Burgundy, Dan inspired us to seek the ultimate pinot vineyard. One yielding a complex yet balanced style. Something both lush and elegant. The winner? A small family owned, sustainable vineyard in the Russian River Valley. The result? A pinot that's sure to seduce. But really, why keep your date waiting?
This wine exhibits a deep ruby color, a Volnay-like, hints of plums, figs, overripe cherries, and an attractive floral note combined with subtle toasty oak. This is a complex, elegant, flavorful wine with multiple nuances. Bottled unfined and unfiltered this wine will provide immense pleasure over the next 6-7 years.
