Jayson Red wine released!

Pahlmeyer "Jayson" Red Wine...$53.99
This is the "second" label from Pahlmeyer. The wine is an amazing bargain compared to its big brother. At less than half the price, this wine delivers a ton of complexity and flavor. Very limited availability. Call for info.

Composition:
73% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, 1.5% Petit Verdot, .5% Malbec

Tasting Notes: The 2005 Jayson Red, offering toasty oak, tobacco, tar, graphite and earthy notes blend with spice, cherry, red berry, and dark fruit flavors in this vibrant, complex wine. This integrated, balanced wine ends with a finish that is long and persistent.

Winemaking Notes: The 2005 Jayson Red is a "declassification" of the wine originally intended for the Merlot and the Proprietary Red. We do not grow or seek out fruit in order to produce wine for the Jayson label. The 2005 Jayson Red was harvested and vinified in the same manner as the Proprietary Red and the Merlot; the whole berry fruit was from hand picked lots and fermented in short, open-topped stainless steel tanks and cold soaked, using native yeasts. The wine then finished fermentation in 80% new French oak barrels and was bottled neither fined nor filtered.
