Pahlmeyer Description
"Our 2020 Jayson Chardonnay is layered and dynamic: The mountain fruit of our Pahlmeyer vineyards contributes intensity and crisp acidity, while our lower-elevation blocks offer freshness, tropical notes, and lovely aromatic lift. We hand-harvested each vineyard at optimal ripeness, picking in the predawn hours. Each whole cluster was meticulously hand sorted at the winery before pressing. The wine was gently whole-cluster pressed, naturally settled, and barrel fermented. It was racked from barrel for blending, then aged as a blend for 8 months before racking for bottling."
Decanter: 92 Points
Fruit sources are from Carneros, St. Helena, and Napa Valley AVAs. The Jayson wines are soft and approachable at the pop of the cork and ready to drink. Native fermentation in 60% new French oak with some medium-plus toast and some second and third-use Pahlmeyer Chardonnay barrels. Aromatically, this is bright with yellow apples laced with vanilla, orange blossoms, and nuts. Medium-bodied with a hefty dose or creamy ripe fruit and a long finish.
