Product Description
Wine Spectator ReviewRated 93
Frankly ripe, offering an enticing gush of açaÃ, 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. Best from 2025 through 2037.
Wine Tasting Notes
Jayson by Pahlmeyer Napa Cabernet showcases the timeless aromas of ripe blackberry and red currant that are synonymous with Napa Valley Cabernet. These flavors are complemented by an enchanting earthiness reminiscent of a dark forest floor, as well as a delightful hint of red licorice and candy shop. The velvety texture of the valley floor fruit fills the palate, while the concentrated mountain fruit adds depth and complexity. The focused black fruit flavors of cherry, plum, and raspberry are accompanied by subtle notes of black olive and freshly cracked pepper. The polished tannins elegantly frame and extend the palate, while a well-balanced acidity adds a vibrant lift. The finish is long, succulent, and velvety, with a lingering grip of tannins and lingering notes of vanilla bean, warm spice, and toasted hazelnut.
Serving and Pairing Recommendations
This wine offers a delightful combination of approachability and liveliness. It is best enjoyed when freshly released and pairs exceptionally well with a succulent char-grilled tomahawk steak accompanied by a flavorful chimichurri sauce and a side of sauteed wild mushrooms. Additionally, don't forget to gather your cherished companions around the table to savor this experience. Cheers!
