SPECIFICATIONS

2016 Y 3 CABERNET SAUVIGNON

Dark aromas of ripe blackberries, currants and a hint of spice.

This 100% Cabernet Sauvignon coats the palate with dense

layers of black cherry, cocoa nib, forest floor and soft hints of

cedar. Full-bodied and well proportioned, this wine carries

through to a vibrant and lively finish.

THE CRAFT

The focus of our JAX Y3 wines, sourced from AVAs (spanning

Napa, Sonoma and North Coast) 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. Lake County’s warm temperatures and volcanic

soils contributed layers of ripe flavors, creating a deep, rich

palate. This wine was aged for 10 months in 30% new French

Oak Barrels.
