JACK Wine Announces Limited Release of 2016 Pinot Noir

Today, vintners Chris Iannetta and Vernon Wells announce a new varietal into the JACK wine portfolio…a 2016 Pinot Noir.

This inaugural vintage is aged 16 months in new oak barrels and hails from a highly sought-after hillside vineyard in the prestigious Russian River Valley. The wine is full-bodied, yet elegant and complex. Notes of dark fruits and raspberries, paired with a long finish, make this wine an exceptional effort for the first vintage.

“We are proud to add this new, lush Pinot to the JACK brand,” explains Iannetta. “While it complements our existing wines, it also provides varietal diversity and rounds out our portfolio nicely. Impressive Pinots are truly an expression of where our vision and expertise lie in the wine space. So we invite you to experience and enjoy the flavor profiles of JACK wines.”

Made by JACK winemaker Grant Long Jr., the 2016 Pinot Noir has a limited production of only 32 cases.

“The balance of the wine and vintage gives it a depth and richness that really shines through,” explains Brandon Davis, managing partner of JACK.

JACK launched its first wines in 2012 and currently features Cabernet Sauvignon, Proprietary Red and Reserve Sauvignon Blanc. The name was created by using the first initial of the founder’s (Wells and Iannetta) children. JACK wines are produced in Napa Valley, California and headquartered in Dallas, Texas.

Awards JACK has received include the Gold Medal-San Diego International Wine Competition (2014 Cabernet Sauvignon), Gold Medal-Critics Challenge (2014 Cabernet Sauvignon) and Silver Medal -Critics Challenge (2015 Sauvignon Blanc).
