2017 Jayson by Pahlmeyer Red Blend

Deep ruby red color in the glass. Aromas of cherry blossom and sweet, dark blueberries lead onto a dense, creamy palate with hints of ripe black fruit and seductive oak. This is a fruit-driven, hedonistic, approachable Pinot Noir. 
Grape clusters were hand-picked in the cool of the night, then hand-sorted at the winery. We gently de-stemmed the grapes using only whole, intact berries for fermentation. After extended cold soak, the grapes entered fermentation for 14 to to 19 days, then the free-run wine was drained to French oak barrels where the wine aged for 9 months.
