Setting the agenda for modern Napa Valley.
The JAX story is a relatively short one when brother and sister, Trent & Kimberly Jackson collaborated with their father to create the business in 1996. Right from the get-go, they focused their efforts on the unique terroir of their family vineyard located north of Calistoga in Napa Valley. Key to this vision was their astute decision to hire cult winemaker Kirk Venge who helped them craft balanced wines that reflected varietal character and a sense of place from the beautiful volcanic alluvial soil that their vineyard was blessed with.
Their Y3 range sources fruit from selected vineyard sites spanning the North Coast of California and is made with the same uncompromising craftsmanship seen in the single vineyard wines from hand-harvesting into small bins, the gentle use of small open top fermenters and the thoughtful aging of the wines in French oak barrels. These are wines to create a more elevated weekday meal.
