95 Points James Suckling
Blackcurrants and blueberries on the nose with some spice and sandalwood undertones. Medium to full body with creamy tannins and a firm, racy finish. Lots of dark-berry and crushed-stone character at the end. Focused and well crafted.

Powerful and well-structured, with zesty acidity to the dried red berry and currant flavors. Minerally richness lingers into the crunchy finish, with plenty of savoriness. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah. Drink now through 2025.
 
92 Points Wine Enthusiast
Made from mostly Merlot, with Zinfandel and Petite Sirah also in the mix, this is a bold, brawny and fruit-forward wine. Rich in vanilla with a light grip of luxurious texture and length, it finishes in clove, nutmeg and cola.
 
Winemaker Notes
Jayson Red Wine is an approachable, deeply layered blend that delivers the exceptional quality that distinguishes Pahlmeyer wines. This Merlot-focused blend adds Cabernet Sauvignon for a velvety expression. Notes of plums, cherries and boysenberries on the full-bodied palate are contrasted by hints of lavender, clove and mushroom. Plush and inviting with a touch of savory characteristics, this red wine will pair well with a charcuterie plate or roasted pork tenderloin. Blend: 81% Merlot, 19% Cabernet Sauvignon
