2022 Jax Vineyards Sauvignon Blanc Y3

4/13/2024 - VinhoVerde Likes this wine: 90 points

Light to medium gold color. Complex mix of lemon peel, and yellow and tropical fruits in the aroma. Lush mouthfeel on the palate. Smooth ripe fruit with just enough acid to keep things balanced. All in all a delicious Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc. Unusually big and round for the varietal. Excellent length.

This appealing SB made by Kirk Venge is not pyrazine-driven or acid-edgy, with ripe melon fruit (which slides toward guava/pineapple at warmer temp), a backsplash of soft grapefruit, and a mineral strain and texture. Really nice at the Costco tariff, and shortly to be a major reload. Food friendly or just quaffable!

Time in bottle has reduced the jamminess a bit, powerful but not particularly complex.

Lovely floral aromatics. Deep dark garnet in the glass. Flavors of dark fruit, blackberries and blueberries. Perfect acidity with rounded integrated tannins. Long memorable finish. Absolutely fantastic.

Impressive packaging. Dark red color with minimal aromas. Dark cherry and charcoal flavors with tannis on a thin finish.

I liked it. Decanted for only about 30 minutes. It had some strong tannins, lots of dark fruit, a solid amount of acid. Think this will continue to improve over the next several years.

Excellent red blend from winemaker Kurt Venge. Red fruits on the nose, hints of leather and pine cone. Nicely done!

Fine sediment (was really more like slime) on the cork tip and neck. Pungent herbs, freshly hewn oak and berries dominate the nose; Blackberry preserves dominate the palate.

There's a little acid/structure right out of the bottle but this initial taste is more Knotts Berry Farms bakery than Napa. Not bad for a glass but not sure I'll continue this bottle w dinner unless the profile changes a bit. 86 today.

DAY 2: dramatic improvement 2nd day. The berry preserve component has really mellowed out; I could now drink several glasses of this, indicating that this could use a year or three for extended aeration to enjoy. Now 88 or 89.

Also has some wood up in the nose of the wine. Kinda burley, but maybe you like that. And chargd up on oak ont he palate as well. So if you like big big cabernet, this hits it right in the pocket.

With a touch of wood on the nose. So a bit built up right now but has the fruit character to hold it together. Not quite harmonious, but that seems to be my opinion of many wines this day so maybe its just my palate. But overall, at this price, RRV fruit it works it out.

Quite tropical and pineapple, palate is a bit more vivacious and with good acidity to it. And then some texture. Not harmonious but who really cares.

With a touch of cream and lemon on the nose. With loads of dry extract on the palate. And clipped on the finish because of it. Meaning, really good structure as it goes. The label is a cattle brand.

Nice balance, very food friendly. Nice fruit mid-palate followed by just a touch of sour cherry on the finish. Probably on the way out, but still quite drinkable.

Pulled the cork on a bottle I Coravin'd 3-4 nights ago. Not particularly complex but there's enough here to be interesting and easy to drink on its own or w food and a good value for the $42 paid
