The Wine: 2007 The Jack
The Price: $12.99 at QFC (marked down from $19.99)
Saviah Cellars is a family-owned winery in Washington's Walla Walla Valley. They were founded in 2000, so will be celebrating their 10th anniversary next year.
The Jack is a blend of 86% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc, 2% Syrah and 2% Petite Verdot.
The wine was stopped with a natural cork, and was decanted one hour before tasting.
The Jack is very dark purple in color. It has aromas of blackberries, cherries, vanilla and a slight hint of pepper.
The wine is absolutely delicious. It has a big berry flavor, with a subtle pepper finish. While the wine would benefit from some further aging, it is very drinkable today and is a bargain at $12.99.
I must admit that I knew before sampling that I would like this wine. That's because I recently had occasion to sample the wine and liked it quite a bit. So I sought out a bottle that I could review.
