This wine comes from Jackson Family Wines’ Boone Ridge Vineyard, planted in 2006. It’s full-bodied and rich, yet with crisp acidity and a spicy note that adds depth and complexity. Black raspberry, pomegranate and cassis flavors fill the mouth, and while there is an alcoholic kick (14.5% on the label), it will certainly please those whole love lusty, full-throttle Pinot Noirs.
