The focus of our JAX Y3 wines, sourced from AVAs (spanning Napa and Sonoma) is to craft wines that express their unique terroir. The JAX Y3 Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the rocky, high elevation, “Red Hills” AVA region in Lake County. The coarse red soil is comprised of large obsidian rocks (due to its proximity to Mount Konocti) resulting in excellent drainage and low yields. We specifically selected the grape lots from various vineyard blocks to add layers of complexity. A small percentage of this Cabernet was sourced from Napa Valley providing tannic structure similar to that of our estate JAX Cabernet Sauvignon. Lake County’s warm temperatures and volcanic soils contributed layers of ripe flavors, creating a deep, rich palate. This wine was aged for 22 months in 30% new French Oak Barrels.
