Pahlmeyer, Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon

VINTAGE NOTES The excellent 2019 vintage was long and even, with mild temperatures throughout the summer months. A cool, wet winter and spring was followed by warm and sunny conditions that lasted the duration of the growing season. Fruit development was consistent and clean, delivering layered, mature fruit notes, outstanding structure and appealing texture.  WINEMAKING NOTES Our Cabernet Sauvignon was harvested at night to deliver naturally cooled grapes to the winery. Whole clusters were gravity-fed onto a vibrating table for hand sorting. Selected clusters were gently de-stemmed, delivering whole berries for a final hand sorting. After several days of cold maceration, the fruit entered primary fermentation for two to three weeks, then gently pressed in our stainless-steel basket. The wine finished malolactic fermentation in barrel, then aged for 15 months in 88% new French oak barrels. TASTING NOTES Our bold, full-bodied Cabernet Sauvignon delivers classic Napa Valley character an
