Well-balanced with juicy blueberries, blackberries, cassis, warm herbs and flowers. Medium to full body with plush tannins. Well-rounded with an attractive mix of berries, herbs and spices and a flavorful finish with excellent length. Try after 2025.

Winemaker 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 complex personality of their infamous bull reflected the complex structure and elements of this indulgent red blend... and what a perfect tribute to their family ranching legend. Reflecting the dominating character of Taureau, this wine boasts incredible purple fruit colors, flavors of blackberry, black cherry and red on the palate, and all supported by polished tannins. Balanced and delicious, this wine should drink well until 2027. "Your food should be so lucky to be paired with Taureau."
