Saint Jaymes, Keep Wines, 2022, 13% ABV, 750ml, Red Wine

Jack Roberts is the man behind the Keep Wines label, and a former assistant winemaker at Matthiason, but his parents have vines in Southwest France. His wife, Johanna Jensen (or JJ as she is known), by the way, is another former Scholium alumni who also paid dues at Broc Cellars. I reckon their Keep Wines, based just outside of Napa, is something of a well-kept secret, although to be fair Nekter Wines has a lot of producers like that.

The winery name, Saint Jaymes, comes from their location on the Camino de Santiago. A blend of 70% Fer Servadou with 30% Manseng Noir, this is a cool, simple, but super-tasty red with smooth red fruits complemented by a nice edge to the finish.
