Jack Winery

Jack Winery, established in 2012 by former Major League Baseball teammates Chris Iannetta and Vernon Wells, is a boutique winery nestled in the renowned Napa Valley, California. The name "JACK" is an acronym derived from the initials of their children—Jayce, Ashlyn, Christian, and Kylie—symbolizing the founders' deep commitment to family values. This ethos is intricately woven into the fabric of the winery, influencing its operations and the intimate experiences offered to guests. Specializing in limited-production, high-quality wines, Jack Winery focuses on varietals that best express the unique terroir of Napa Valley. Their portfolio includes a distinguished Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon, celebrated for its garnet hue and complex aromas of black cherry, blueberry, violets, and mocha. The palate is treated to flavors of currant, plum, vanilla, and nutmeg, culminating in a finish characterized by plush, rich tannins. This wine has garnered critical acclaim, including a 93+ rating from Robert Parker. Jack Winery's commitment to excellence is further exemplified through collaborations with esteemed winemaker Julien Fayard, who brings over two decades of experience and a philosophy that emphasizes producing wines with a distinct identity. Fayard's approach ensures that each bottle authentically reflects the specific characteristics of the fruit, vineyard management practices, soil composition, and climate. While Jack Winery does not operate a public tasting room, they offer exclusive virtual tasting experiences. These sessions provide enthusiasts with the opportunity to engage directly with co-founder Chris Iannetta, who guides participants through the winery's portfolio, sharing insights into the winemaking process and the stories behind each vintage. Embracing the philosophy that great wine fosters great conversation, Jack Winery invites connoisseurs and newcomers alike to savor their meticulously crafted wines, each bottle embodying the founders' passion for family, friendship, and the art of winemaking.
