Jaxon Keys 2009 Sauvignon Blanc (Mendocino County)

  • Best Buy
  1. $15
A great first effort from the new Jaxon Keys winery’s estate Sauvignon Blanc vineyard, with green apple, pear, ripe melon and honey prominent throughout the wine’s rich, creamy texture, with just a touch of key lime. A great example of inland Mendocino Sauvignon Blanc.  — V.B.  (7/1/2011)

Jaxon Keys NV Farmhouse Red (Mendocino County)

  1. $15
Jaxon Keys is a new Mendocino County producer operating out of the former Jepson Winery, which has been completely redone. One of its first wines, this nonvintage Rhône-inspired blend of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 20% Petite Sirah, has a pleasing nose full of red and blackberry fruit with a dollop of earthiness and good acid. Stainless-steel fermented.  — V.B.  (7/1/2011)

Jaxon Keys 2009 Estate Viognier (Mendocino County)

  1. $16
A light, easy Viognier that’s not oily like some versions of this variety, but pleasingly tropical, smelling of pineapple and guava with ripe melon on the finish.  — V.B.  (9/1/2011)

Jaxon Keys 2007 Peterson Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Mendocino County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $24
The Ukiah Valley gets hot, no doubt, but 15.8% alcohol on a Mendocino Cabernet is still hard to take. This wine is very tightly wound, a little hot, a little flabby with a minty, cedar nose and flavors of blackberry and chocolate that eventually come through.  — V.B.  (11/1/2011)
