Two years ago, a pair of crack grape partners was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These wines promptly escaped from a maximum security cellar into the Templeton Gap underground in Paso Robles, California. Today, still wanted by wine lovers everywhere, they survive as beverages of fortune. If you’re thirsty, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can drink…the J-Team.
As the devastatingly charming genius who leads the J-Team, JanKris 2011 Riatta strategically unites Merlot, Sangiovese, Zin, and Tempranillo into a sophisticated, bold synthesis. He's big, red, and beautifully balanced.
What’s that in your glass? A spicy, coffee-tinged Cab? An exotic Tempranillo? A rotund PS? A peppery Syrah? A quiet Merlot? One never knows with JanKris 2011 Crossfire, the wine of a thousand faces. This chameleonic blend is the J-Team’s master of disguise, and can bluff his way past any border guard, night watchman, or sommelier. His file indicates that Crossfire prefers red meat…or does he?
Operating out of the JanKris Winery, this fruit-forward, hand-crafted pair wages an ongoing war against the forces of mediocrity. If you’ve been suffering under the tyranny of bland, mass-market wines, it’s time to call in the J-Team.
2011 JanKris Crossfire, Paso Robles 750ml 3-Pack
Truly the "world's blend" A Merlot base followed by smatterings of Cab, Tempranillo, Petit Syrah, Syrah, and Grenache. Young enough to age well in your cellar, yet old enough to enjoy now. So many things going on your mouth that you will marvel at the feel and the sensory overload your taste buds will succumb to. A little drier than Riatta and a little more sophisticated.
This wine illustrates the harmony of a traditional Bordeaux style blend enhanced by ripe Spanish varietals. Each variety imparts an individual personality while remaining in perfect balance.
2011 JanKris Riatta, Paso Robles 750ml 3-Pack
Riatta is a signature blend that unites the roundness of Merlot, the brightness of Sangiovese, the intense fruit of Zinfandel and subtle acidity of Tempranillo, resulting in a beautifully balanced wine.
This exciting big red blend combines the four best red berries we grow. 65% Merlot creates the base in a smooth Bordeaux style. Sangiovese is added at 20% of the volume bringing a bright Italian flair to the wine. We take the fruit forward big taste of Paso Robles famous Zinfandel (10%) and finish the balance with the incredible Spanish varietal Tempranillo.
Each and every year this blend sells out the vintage, one sip and you'll know why. Easy drinking smooth and silky, tough not to finish the bottle.

We are a family-owned winery specializing in artisan wines from our estate vineyards on the famed westside of Paso Robles on California’s Central Coast. Here, we are blessed with a rare combination of limestone soils, sun-kissed hillsides and refreshing ocean breezes that cascade through the Templeton Gap, a notch in the coastal mountains. In our wines, you will taste the rare beauty and balance of this remarkable terroir.
Making wine is our craft, and sharing it is our passion, which is why we aim to offer an unparalleled tasting experience. Our historic tasting room is surrounded by extensive rose gardens and breathtaking vineyard views.
Veris Cellars was founded in 1990 as JanKris Winery and helped establish Paso Robles as one of California’s most dynamic wine regions. In early 2008, JanKris Winery was acquired by local entrepreneur and wine enthusiast Matthew Talbert, who immediately launched a new era under the new name of Veris Cellars. Matthew initiated sweeping improvements in the winery’s visitor facilities, winemaking program and viticultural practices, with the goal of taking the Veris Cellars tradition to the next level. We invite you to experience our wines, gardens and hospitality in the heart of the Paso Robles wine country.
