The tasting room and a portion of their vineyards are in west side of the Paso Robles appellation. The winemaking philosophy binding all JanKris wines is the motto of "Fruit-forward wines with soft tannins". Another notable characteristic of JanKris wines is their price point: All their wines are below $20, making them excellent values. Three JanKris properties, comprising the 170 acre estate, are located both in the west ('Templeton Gap') and east portions of the Paso Robles AVA. Grapes grown are: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Merolt, Mourvedre, Petite Syrah, Petite Verdot, Sangiovese, Syrah, Viognier and Zinfandel. Sourced form old vines, JanKris wines combine the characteristics of more dense extraction and fuller body of eastern Paso wines and the age worthiness of wines from the western part of the AVA, JanKris makes varietal wines and Cal-Ital styled blends such as the Picaro and crossover blends like the Crossfire, (blending the Bordeaux varietals Cabernet, Merlot and with the Rhône Syrah grape). 2005 JanKris Cabernet sauvignon, Re-release 2005 JanKris Cabernet Sauvignon 89+ Points 2004 JanKris Cabernet Sauvignon 89 Points 2004 JanKris Riatta, Paso Robles, Re-release 2004 JanKris Riatta, Paso Robles 88+ points 2003 JanKris Merlot 90 Points 2003 JanKris Riatta, Paso Robles 89 points     Back to top.
