JACK Wine Releases 2017 Pinot Noir

Second Pinot Vintage Hails from Prestigious Russian River Valley

JACK wine announces the release of their second vintage of Pinot Noir. Aged sixteen months in New Oak -Fraces Frerer Barrels, this 2017 Pinot hails from a highly sought-after hillside vineyard in the prestigious Russian River Valley. The wine is full-bodied and features aromas of berries and plum plus and a hint of rose petals. Only 100 cases have been produced.

“We have been anxiously awaiting the release of this second vintage of Pinot,” explains Brandon Davis, Managing Partner of JACK. “We were thrilled with our 2016 vintage, but 2017 has blown us away.”

JACK was founded in 2012 by Chris Iannetta and Vernon Wells who discovered an appreciation for wine while playing in the Major Leagues. The name was created by using the first initial of each of their children. The wine is produced in Napa by winemaker Grant Long. Jr.
