Jax Vineyards Y3 Taureau Napa Valley Merlot Blend 2018

One of the best buys in California Red wine we've discovered! 91 Jeb Dunnuck: "The 2018 Red Blend Y3 Taureau checks in as a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 47% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot. Dense purple, with notes of ripe blackcurrants, black cherries, chocolate, violets, and spice, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a rounded, expansive mid-palate, no hard edges, and a lengthy, clean finish. It's a smoking value from Napa Valley that's ideal for drinking over the coming 4-6 years." The name "Taureau" was the name of the Jackson family’s prized bull, legendary for his feisty, high-kicking and vibrant personality. When perfecting this wine at their blending session, the JAX team concurred that the complex personality of their infamous bull reflected the complex structure and elements of this indulgent red blend... and what a perfect tribute to their family ranching legend. Reflecting the dominating character of Taureau, this wine boasts incredible purple fruit colors, flavors of blackberry, black cherry and red on the palate, and all supported by polished tannins. Balanced and delicious, this wine should drink well until 2022. "Your food should be so lucky to be paired with Taureau. 50% Merlot 30% Cabernet Sauvignon 20% Syrah
