Tenacious is a wine that lives up to its name. Of the three [Napa Jack wines] this is the most tannic and powerful. Blackberry, plum and hints of cocoas, soar from the glass. While it is incredibly polished, it still has the weight and power to leave no doubt that it is Cabernet Sauvignon, in its raw, dynamic pure form.
