A fruity and well-made cabernet sauvignon expressing aromas of dark berries, dried herbs, bay leaves and hints of cola. It’s full-bodied and rich with plush tannins. Generous and opulent with dark berries and chocolate in the finish. Better after 2025.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon JAX Estate is a terrific value, with a plump, forward, delicious style in its blue fruits as well as classic tobacco and chocolaty nuances. Medium to full-bodied, nicely balanced, and textured on the palate, it has the vintage’s pure, lively style as well as outstanding length. The blend is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged 21 months in 70% new French oak.

Kirk Venge is doing a nice job with the wines from Jax Vineyards. This 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate boasts plenty of cassis, blackberries and blueberries on the nose. It’s medium to full-bodied, showing lots of fruit and being nicely ripe and concentrated without going over the top into simple jamminess. Long, silky and immediately approachable, it represents a good value among the sea of Napa Valley Cabernets.
