Palate
This elegant and heavily aromatic wine opens with intense and inviting bright red fruit, blackberry, and
subtle licorice aromas that lead into a weighty, enjoyable mid-palate. Bright acidity coupled with soft
tannins promise a satisfyingly long finish. This is a beautifully balanced wine, made to be enjoyed upon
release and requires no cellaring.
Growing Conditions
Jayson Red Wine is a distinctive blend of Bordeaux varieties from some of Napa Valley’s finest vineyards,
crafted to express each vintage with intensity and richness.
The 2015 vintage reflects our determination to create a stunning wine during a challenging growing
season. An unusually warm spring led to early budbreak and accelerated vine growth, but upon bloom,
weather turned cool, slowing development. Summer’s considerable heat propelled the grapes into early
flavor concentration, while spells of low temperatures delayed ripening. We took extra care in hand-sorting
the fruit and used 100% free-run juice, resulting in wines of intensity, complexity and bright acidity.
Bottling
Bottled with minimal fining and filtration. on April 8, 2017
Winemaking
The wine was fermented in stainless steel
tanks to enhance its fresh fruit profile and retain its bright acidity.
Aging
It was racked to barrels (45%
French oak) for fifteen months.
