Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon 2022

"This is a very polished wine in 2022, well-built with neatly knit tannins that form a solid foundation for the dark currant and blackberry fruit that floods the mid-palate. Good depth of concentration and driving energy create a sense of tension and vibrancy. Indeed not a shy wine, yet more approachable, with tannins almost melting away on the finish—very characteristic of the warm vintage. Grape sources include William Hill and Broken Rock in Napa, Stagecoach, Waters, and Round Pond in Rutherford, along with Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon from the iconic Monte Rosso Vineyard in Sonoma. Grapes are sorted by hand, fermented in stainless steel with a small percentage in oak tanks, and then aged for 15 months in 80% new French oak. Drinking window 2025-2034 (Feb 2025)"

"Lush, velvety, and giving, this full bodied Cabernet delivers a mouthful of flavor ushering to a long finish. Crisp red berries and cassis join with fresh, woodsy lift followed by oak spices and a plush finish."

"A handsomely structured version, with refined black currant, espresso, tomato leaf and toasty spice flavors that persist toward medium-grained tannins. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2032."

"The 2022 'Jayson' delivers inviting aromas of black currants and red berries woven together with notes of sweet baking spices, cedar, tobacco leaf, and a touch of fresh, peppery herbs. On the palate, it delivers a bold, medium-plus bodied profile that is polished and laced and sleek with well-integrated tannins that lead into the lingering finish. The 2022 is approachable now and should offer a drinking window that spans a decade. Drink 2025-2038 (Nov 2024)"
