The Wine: 2006 22 Black Cabernet Sauvignon
The Price: $28 at Jack Cellars
I picked up this wine because I thought it was funny that my local wine shop, Jack Cellars, was selling wine made by JAQK Cellars. Yes, I am easily amused.
According to their website, Jaqk Cellars is a new winery. I'm not seeing when they were founded, but it appears that 2006 is their first vintage. The founders enjoy gaming, and their wines have a gambling theme to them (hence the spelling of JAQK - Jack, Ace, Queen, King).
The 2006 22 Black Cabernet Sauvignon is comprised of 83% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot and 3% Malbec. The wine bottle was stopped with a natural cork, and decanted an hour before sampling.
The wine is dark purple in color and has aromas of cherry, blackberry, cassis and blueberry.
It's a very fruity and smooth wine. It has flavors of cherry, blackberry and blueberry with a mild pepper finish. The wine has a very deep and well balanced flavor. It's remarkably good! I highly recommend getting your hands on a bottle of this one!
