2021 Pahlmeyer Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes:  There’s a luxurious texture I aim for with our Jayson Cabernet, selecting blocks of our mountain fruit that deliver concentration and intensity while possessing plush fruit and a polished tannin profile. I blend these with rich, round fruit from the Rutherford valley floor and Atlas Peak foothills – the perfect balance of grip and juiciness. I’ll age Jayson Cabernet for about 15 months in 80% new Taransaud heavy toast oak to build on that incredible mouthfeel and structure, match our tannin profile, and support our signature intensity.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Wine Spectator - "Frankly ripe, offering an enticing gush of açaí, blackberry and black currant compote notes that roll through, carried by warm humus, licorice root and singed alder notes. A muscular style, this is defined, with subtle, latent energy through the finish."
