Jayson Pahlmeyer has crafted one of the most lauded and exciting estates in Napa Valley, with critical acclaim and consumer demand following pretty much everything they've done since their inception. The flagship Pahlmeyer wines are collectors' items par excellence, often requiring years or even decades of cellaring to come into their own. This is especially true of the monumental Proprietary Blend. However, the "Jayson" line of wines is the second label of the estate, with a focus on quality and approachability. Winemaker's notes: "Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon reveals its classic expression with deep, elegant black and red fruit aromas accented by notes of dried herbs. The mid-palate is focused, and a firm structure supports the concentrated fruit. Notes of oak, cacao and pencil shavings add intriguing complexity to this intense, powerful wine."
