Gift from Jack D. Nailed it! Agree with previous reviews. Very complex, tannins well integrated. So good. Everything I love in a left bank Bordeaux/Pessac-Léognan. — 9 months ago

July 7, 2021. Dinner w/KK 😁 Jack D, and J2. Celebrating KK return to CoMO, albeit just a visit. She brought pizza, I pulled out this wine. Perfect w/pizza and a lovely super Tuscan from Maremma. 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 20% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot. Slightly different than the 2012 vintage I drank and rated in March. This is just as yummy, though less aged so more fruit (dark cherry) and less earth and leather. Still wonderful. Drank both bottles I had. Need more! — 4 years ago

Jack Winery – Proprietary Red Blend 2022
Napa Valley, California – USA 🇺🇸

Overview
Crafted as a small-lot, carefully curated Bordeaux-style blend, this wine showcases Jack Winery’s dedication to balance and terroir expression. The 2022 vintage is composed of 56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 22% Cabernet Franc, 16% Petit Verdot, and 6% Malbec, each varietal bringing a distinct layer of complexity to the finished wine .

Aromas & Flavors
The nose opens with striking aromas of blackberry, black licorice, mission fig, and violets. On the palate, expect a plush wave of black cherry and black licorice, edged with rosemary, finishing silky and long with notes of French vanilla, burnt caramel, and tobacco spice .

Mouthfeel
Full-bodied and seamless, this wine balances density with grace. The polished tannins integrate beautifully with firm acidity, leading into a smooth, lingering finish that feels refined yet powerful.

Winemaking Notes
Hand-harvested from premium Napa vineyards, each varietal is fermented individually and then aged in French oak barrels—with a portion of new oak used to enhance complexity while maintaining harmony  .

Food Pairing
Rich enough to stand with grilled lamb chops, braised short ribs, or aged cheeses, yet elegant enough to complement slow-roasted pork or mushroom risotto. A versatile Napa blend for both hearty and refined food.

Verdict
A showcase of Jack Winery’s blending artistry. The 2022 Proprietary Red Blend delivers structure, finesse, and layered flavor—bold yet approachable, and built for both sipping now and savoring down the road. Cheers! — a month ago

Well, baseball season started. I am not a baseball fan. Too boring. But, hey, never say never and now with the rule changes who knows ….. Jack winery is created by two former baseball players Chris Ianetta and Vernon Wells and we finally tried the 2019 Jack’s Pinot….FANTASTIC!! Spicy, good tannin/acidity structure and complex balanced finish. Was so worried this be another fruit driven ‘Russian Valley’ Pinot. Couldn’t be further from the truth! Had the structure of a Premier Cru from Cote d’Nuit and the earthiness of a Central Otago New Zealand. Pinot. Loved it — 3 years ago

Love this! Great rec from the crew at Brooklyn Wine Exchange. Buttery toast, bright and vibrant citrus fruit and a dry, mineral finish. — 5 years ago

My bottle is a Howell Mountain. I’d never heard of Jack before. I got this from the Napa Valley Wine Auction several years ago. Held up well for 12 years. — 5 months ago

What an interesting wine. 100% Sauvignon Blanc that is vinified in Brooklyn, NY from North Fork, Long Island fruit. This is a skin fermented white. Straw golden in color, but an orange wine in style. Lovely aromas and flavors of peach, grapefruit and ginger. Beautifully funky all the way through! Sharp acidity and a lingering finish. Each sip makes you want more. What a pleasant surprise. Thanking Kylie for the bottle and suggesting that Kasey share this one with me. — 2 years ago

The Château Reverdi 2016 is comprised of 60% Merlot, 30% Petit Verdot and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon aged for 12 months in small French oak barrels, 10% of which are new. First, use a good large glass. This is a classic Listrac-Médoc in a very great vintage, and it needs room to stretch out. Complex, exotic aromas unfurl gradually, and then erupt from the glass, with sun warmed wild blackberries, ripe cassis, griotte cherries, and eucalyptus moving in and out of the foreground, adding Perigord truffles, crushed violets, and freshly sanded cedar, as the nose evolves in the glass. On entry, the wine is concentrated, structured, and palate coating, with a solid core of wild blackberries, fresh fennel, and sweet black currants that echoes the nose —the Petit Verdot showing through with its muscular, fresh raciness, and the flavors are wrapped in plush, luxuriant, fine grained tannins. Drink now, for its incredible primary black fruit, or lay away in a cool dark cellar for at least a decade.— Moore Brothers Wine Co., Brooklyn — 5 years ago
