JAQK Cellars High Roller Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

High Roller is JAQK's flagship wine. This delicately crafted Cabernet Sauvignon is made from 100% Napa Valley grapes, harvested by hand to allow our winemaker maximum control during the crushing and fermentation processes. The wine is aged in French oak casks in the tradition of the smooth, elegant Bordeaux-style Cabernets. When the time is right, it is then refi ned with egg whites. It takes considerably more effort to go this route here in the U.S., but the result is a more complex, more flavorful, more balanced wine. And one that ages extremely well. A wine of this caliber is something that the connoisseur will want to have well represented in his wine cellar. And to help ensure a long life, we've paid particular attention to the bottle that will be its home. We chose the king of vessels, the mighty Imperiale, and had one custom made for us in Milan, Italy.

This wine has aromas of black cherry, black currant, ripe plum, cassis, milk chocolate, cloves, and toasty oak.

On the palate it begins with a smooth entry leading to a round, concentrated and velvety evolution. There is a lively aspect to the mid-palate, supported by mouthcoating tannins. The finish is refined, elegant, long and showing great balance.
