"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."

"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."
