Winemaker Notes

The wine immediately grabs your attention with crushed blueberry, bramble and berry cobbler. The impression on the palate is powerful with concentrated red fruit and cherry pie flavors. The mouthfeel is lush and layered with a finish that doesn't stop.

    The 2014 Zinfandel Jack Florence Vineyard is a blockbuster Zin (15.4% alcohol) with dense, briary blackberry and black cherry fruit, full-bodied opulence, a multi-layered mouthfeel, stunning purity and length. This is a wine to lay on the table with some rare grilled high-quality beef. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

    From winemaker John Kane, who worked for years with Kent Rosenblum, this wine is dense and decadently rich and concentrated, a jammy, thick flavor explosion of soy sauce, black olive and Dr. Pepper cola. Smooth on the palate, it threatens to overpower in ripeness before pulling back just enough to show complexity.

John Kane, winemaker and founder, has always had a strong connection to the land. He grew up in the Central Valley of California and his parents were in the agricultural business so farming has been in his bones since he can remember. Across twenty years in the wine industry, John has held nearly every job in the winery from bottling line manager to cellar master to winemaker. John spent fifteen of those years at Rosenblum Cellars where he fell in love with Zinfandel and had the amazing opportunity to work under Kent Rosenblum and Jeff Cohn. His dream was always to have hiw own project. John wanted to make wines that he loves to drink, that reflect his style and that make his family proud. He wanted a legacy to pass to his kids and to create something that would live beyond his years. JCK Wine Company was born in 2014. John founded the company with three distinct wines working with growers that he has known for many years. Those strong relationships have allowed him access to some of the best fruit in Sonoma. He plans to add more wines when the timing is right and when he finds the right fruit. Thank you for taking this journey with me and I sincerely hope you enjoy the wines.

With hundreds of red grape varieties to choose from, winemakers have the freedom to create a virtually endless assortment of blended red wines. In many European regions, strict laws are in place determining the set of varieties that may be used, but in the New World, experimentation is permitted and encouraged resulting in a wide variety of red wine styles. Blending can be utilized to enhance balance or create complexity, lending different layers of flavors and aromas. For example, a red wine blend variety that creates a fruity and full-bodied wine would do well combined with one that is naturally high in acidity and tannins. Sometimes small amounts of a particular variety are added to boost color or aromatics. Blending can take place before or after fermentation, with the latter, more popular option giving more control to the winemaker over the final qualities of the wine.

How to Serve Red Wine

A common piece of advice is to serve red wine at “room temperature,” but this suggestion is imprecise. After all, room temperature in January is likely to be quite different than in August, even considering the possible effect of central heating and air conditioning systems. The proper temperature to aim for is 55° F to 60° F for lighter-bodied reds and 60° F to 65° F for fuller-bodied wines.

How Long Does Red Wine Last?

Once opened and re-corked, a bottle stored in a cool, dark environment (like your fridge) will stay fresh and nicely drinkable for a day or two. There are products available that can extend that period by a couple of days. As for unopened bottles, optimal storage means keeping them on their sides in a moderately humid environment at about 57° F. Red wines stored in this manner will stay good – and possibly improve – for anywhere from one year to multiple decades. Assessing how long to hold on to a bottle is a complicated science. If you are planning long-term storage of your reds, seek the advice of a wine professional.

Dry Creek Valley Wine

Sonoma County, California

View all products

A multifaceted and highly reputable sub-region of Sonoma, Dry Creek Valley is responsible for a wide range of wine styles—both red and white. One of the smallest AVAs in California, Dry Creek Valley has a winning combination of ideal geography and climate. Fertile, well-drained soils create concentrated varietal character while long, warm days, bookended by cool nights, allow grapes to reach full phenolic ripeness and balance. The warm and welcoming appellation is home to a number of family-owned vineyards and wineries that place a strong emphasis on sustainable farming practices.

Zinfandel reigns supreme here and still produces in a great number of very old vineyards—often 100 years old or older. These old vines create a powerful, voluptuous and sultry wine unlike those of any other region. Sauvignon Blanc, the valley’s signature white grape, also performs exceptionally well. Many other varieties grow comfortably here, including Cabernet Sauvignon, Grenache and Syrah. Petite Sirah is often found in blends with Zinfandel.
