Sourced from the prized block on the JAX Estate, the Block 3 Cabernet reflects the premium clusters selected from the superior pitch of the 1.798 acres on the eastern edge of the Jax vineyard. These clusters are an intense expression of the red rock, alluvial soil at the base of Mt. Saint Helena. The lush fruit driven profile of the 337 clone produces a wine that is well structured with lovely herbal notes on the nose.

Made by the talented Kirk Venge, the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon JAX Estate Block 3 is all from a site in Calistoga and spent 21 months in new French oak. This inky hued effort gives up a complex nose of blackberries, blueberries, sage, leafy tobacco, and chocolate that develops beautifully with time in the glass. This carries to a dense, concentrated, classic 2021 with plenty of mid-palate depth, ripe tannins, beautiful purity, and a great finish.

Dark chocolate and dried blueberry aromas lead to uber-ripe fruits, cocoa and a touch of oak char on the palate of this big, rich wine. Massive tannins are softened by the sweet-seeming flavors and contribute to a full, broad texture. Best from 2025-2032.

The top wine from Jax is the 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Block 3, aged in 100% new French oak. Cassis, blueberry, cedar and vanilla notes mark the nose, while the full-bodied palate offers a bit more concentration and texture than the other estate wines, finishing long and velvety. 175 cases produced.
