NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

JAX Vineyards Taureau Y3 is a red blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc.On the nose, the wine exudes enticing aromas of ripe blackberries, dark cherries, and hints of cedar. These aromas are complemented by subtle notes of vanilla and spice, adding complexity to the bouquet. The palate is rich and full-bodied, with velvety tannins that provide a smooth and elegant mouthfeel. Flavors of blackcurrant, plum, and black cherry dominate, accompanied by layers of dark chocolate and espresso. The wine's well-integrated oak contributes to its overall structure and adds a touch of toasty vanilla.
