Review:
The Jack has aromas of raspberries, black cherries, plum and spices. Aged for ten months in 30% new American oak, this wine offers a mouthful of juicy fruit flavors and a long, smooth finish.
The blend is 88% Merlot with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon filling in the rest.
2009 Vintage Tasting Notes
It’s difficult to believe this Walla Walla winery launched its popular gaming-card label for bargain-priced red blend way back in 2003, but the Funks only recently began to roll it out for single variety bottlings. Indeed, it’s young and flush with
fruitiness that hints at plums, marionberry and raspberry. The structure brings wonderful acidity and well-integrated chocolaty tannins. - Andy Perdue
