For all case (12 bottle) orders, delight in an exclusive wine tasting flight for two people at Jax Vineyards' newly renovated tasting room in the heart of SOMA San Francisco.
Jax 2013 Y3 Pinot Noir
This exceptional Burgundy-style Pinot Noir has a true California flare and was added to the Jax Vineyards portfolio just two years ago by President/CEO and Certified Sommelier, Dan Parrott. A long-time Pinot enthusiast, Dan hand-selected vineyard blocks for this very special bottle of wine from the most supreme Pinot Noir locations in Russian River Valley.
~Tasting notes by Dan Parrott, Certified Sommelier and CEO/President of Jax Vineyards
The Pinot Noir is modeled classically in the form of its Burgundy counterparts. Lower alcohol, pretty refinement and elegance are the framework that make this Pinot so special. Russian River brings to the picture nuances of bright cherry, strawberry patch, raspberry preserves, crushed spices and red roses. Bottled unfiltered and unfined, enjoy to 2022 and beyond.

About Y3 and the Pinot Noir grapes:
The Y3 label of Jax Vineyards is a tip of the hat to previous Jackson generations. Y3 was the cattle symbol used on the family's ranch, Yarrayne, two generations ago.
To remain true to the family's commitment of responsible farming, the Y3 Pinot Noir is sourced from sustainably farmed pristine vineyards in Russian River Valley. In addition to ideal grape growing locations, the Y3 Pinot Noir is a careful combination of 667 and Pommard clone grapes. The clone blend works in symphony as the 667 grapes give the wine structure and persistence, while the Pommard clone fills in the palate with pure, dark fruit flavors.
