Jax Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga Block 3 2016

94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "The flagship is the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon JAX Estate Block 3, all Cabernet Sauvignon from Calistoga that spent 22 months in new French oak. It offers a super-rich bouquet of blueberries, plums, Asian spices, sagebrush, and lavender. With full-bodied richness and depth as well as sweet tannins and rocking levels of purity, it's easily the standout in the lineup. It's also a solid step up over the 2015. Drink: 2019-2034.

94 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$125 list] This big, bold wine tastes of blackberry pie dusted in clove and nutmeg, giving it a lush and plush feel. Thick and densely structured, it offers elongated tannins and a memorable, spicy finish. Alcohol 14.9%. (Apr 2019)"

93 points Lisa Perrotti-Brown (Wine Advocate): "[$125 list] Made of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, the deep garnet-purple colored 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Block 3 offers up cassis, baked blackberries and blueberry compote with lifted notes of spice box and licorice plus a touch of sage. Full-bodied, rich, firm and grainy, the palate has loads of freshness and an aniseed finish. Drink: 2018-2034. (12/13/18)"
