2023 Jayson (Pahlmeyer) "The Bench" Atlas Peak Cabernet Sauvignon
94
James Suckling
Meaty, savory aromas and deep, dark plum flavors fuel this full-bodied, structured and robust red. Full tannins give a grip to the texture, holding in blackberry, blackcurrant and sage flavors that will develop with more time in the bottle. Great flavors with a restraining structure. Drinkable now, but best from 2029.

Notes
94% Cabernet Sauvignon with 3% each Petit Verdot and Merlot aged 16 months in 87% new French oak. Winery Notes: "The 2023 Jayson “The Bench” Cabernet Sauvignon showcases the quintessential character of Atlas Peak mountain fruit. Intense aromas of blackberry and boysenberry are underscored by subtle notes of white pepper. On the palate, plush layers of concentrated dark fruit complemented by elegant cocoa-chocolate tannins unfold with each sip. The balanced 2023 vintage brings remarkable focus and detail to the fruit, while the subtle impact of French oak imparts an opulent lingering sweetness. (Winemaker - Katie Vogt)
