Tasting Notes
The Jack Red Wine has a long history of excellent quality and is one of the best values produced in Washington State. Crafted from fruit grown in some of the finest vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley, the grapes are handpicked and hand sorted, with attention to detail at every step of the winemaking process. The 2023 vintage was sensational with rich concentration in the berries, resulting in wine with layers of delicious aromas and flavors. Packed with perfectly ripe black cherries, plum, marionberry, star anise, and mocha. The wine is silky with well-balanced acidity and delicate tannins. Pour a glass and enjoy with friends!
