Product Overview
Winery Notes:
"The name Taureau, was the name of the Jackson family;s prized bull, legendary for his feisty, high-kicking and vibrant personality. When perfecting this wine at their blending session, the JAX team concurred that the character of their infamous bull reflected the structure and elements of this indulgent red blend...and what a perfect tribute to their family ranching legend.
Medium bodied, luscious and approachable, our 2020 Taureau Red Blend is in pitch-perfect balance. The supple, voluminous entry cascades into beautifully rich and integrated flavors of ripe raspberry, black plum and baking spices. This wine is a lovely blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc are sourced exclusively from Napa Valley vineyards.
Offering dark, concentrated depth and character, this wine pairs with a broad range of foods from poultry, pasta and pizza to rich red meat dishes."

"Built for further aging, this fully tannic and concentrated wine squeezes its black cherry and blackberry flavors firmly with tannins, giving an extra-grippy texture at this stage. Best from 2027–2037." -JG, 12/31/23
87 Points - Wine Advocate
"A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc, the 2021 Y3 Taureau delivers black cherries, cassis and some herbal nuances on the nose. It's medium to full-bodied, not that rich or concentrated on the palate, but clean and well made. The reasonable price tag makes it a notable value among Napa offerings." -JC, 12/29/23
