Tasting Notes
The Jack Red Wine is crafted from fruit grown in some of the best vineyards in the Walla Walla Valley and Columbia Valley AVAs. It opens with enticing aromas of black cherries, plum, blackberries, sweet herb, vanilla and spice. The flavors showcase bright, perfectly ripe red and black fruit that lead to a long silky, smooth finish. Pour a glass and enjoy!
