PRODUCT OVERVIEW/REVIEW:
Sourced from the unique sub-AVAs of California’s Central Coast, J. Wilkes offers an extraordinary range of meticulously crafted wines defined by ocean influence and worthy of exploration.*
An accomplished sailor, grape grower, and vintner with a passion for wine and a deep love of the ocean, Jeff Wilkes knew whole-heartedly the winemaking potential of California’s Central Coast. After selling wine grapes for the Miller Family for nearly 20 years, Jeff started crafting his own wine under his namesake J. Wilkes label, with 2001 marking his inaugural vintage.*
After several years of seeing his wines regularly land on the menus of famed Michelin-starred restaurants, Jeff tragically passed away in 2010. Wanting to honor the legacy of their friend, the Miller Family subsequently purchased the J. Wilkes brand, thus enabling Jeff’s vision to live on. Today, J. Wilkes’ range of exquisite, sub-AVA crafted wines continues to showcase the diversity and allure of California’s acclaimed Central Coast.*
The 2019 J. Wilkes Cabernet Sauvignon is sourced from the Paso Robles Highlands District, where the hot days, wide diurnal temperature variations, and alluvial soils make magic with this noble grape. Aged for 12 months in a combination of new and seasoned oak barrels, it has a nose of black fruits that is a harbinger of what lies ahead: a deep, full palate redolent with flavors of cassis, blackberries, and black raspberries. Accents of cocoa, tobacco, violets, and baking spice add layers of complexity, with firm yet pliant tannins giving the wine structure. Check out the press!
93 points, Vinous:
"The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles Highlands District) is another dense explosive wine.
Rich, inky blackberry jam, crème de cassis, licorice, chocolate, and spice build into the dense, super-concentrated palate. This is a solid value from J. Wilkes." (10/21)
