Jayson By Pahlmeyer

Black amethyst in color, this wine opens with sultry aromas of boysenberry, violet and vanilla. Velvety and plush upon entry with intense flavors of black cherry and dark chocolate.

Dark garnet in color and nearly black at the core, the wine opens with aromas of ripe blackberry and wild blueberry, delicate notes of red raspberry and lavender, and a waft of crushed slate.

Flavors of fresh cider apples, juicy lychee and warming cardamom;intense and silky finish lingers with spicy, earthy notes of white lily and lightly toasted almond.

A flush of roasted peaches, buttermilk ice cream and hint of grapefruit are presented on a silky entry and smooth texture.

94 PTS WINE SPECTATOR. The cellar-worthy 09 Pahlmeyer Red Table Wine is a Bordeaux-like expression that offers a mix of cedar-laced tobacco, dried berry, loamy earth and herbal notes.

90 PTS WILFRED WONG. Too much fun can be found in this wine, the full-bodied '03 Jayson Red by Pahlmeyer underscores the plethora of fine quality, powerpacked reds from the Napa Valley; thick, juicy.
