Jayson by Pahlmeyer

2001
Jayson Red Wine Napa Valley

The 2001 Jayson is a rich ‘black fruit’ wine, with a fat core of blueberries, blackberries, and currants. The new French oak melds with the ripe fruity character; giving the wine an almost chocolaty flavor. The tannins finish soft, deep, and supple.
— Jayson Pahlmeyer, Proprietor, April 2003

Winemaking Notes

The 2001 Jayson Red is harvested and vinified in the same manner as the Proprietary Red; the whole berry fruit comes from hand picked lots and were fermented in short, open-topped stainless steel tanks and cold soaked, using native yeasts. The wine then continued through malolactic fermentation in 100% new French oak barrels for 7 months and was bottled neither fined nor filtered.

A rich, vibrant, intensely concentrated and ripe style, with bold currant, plum, black cherry and spicy flavors accented by spicy, toasty oak and finishing with a firm wall of tannins. Shows some heat on the finish, but there’s still a wealth of flavor.
