Earthy, brawny and spicy, this blockbuster red is full of intensity and length, with rich, dense layers of blueberry, clove and leather. Moderate grip provides a touch of structure amidst an otherwise decadent experience.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Jayson, which spent 18 months in 88% new French oak, offers a textbook Napa nose of ripe cherries, plums, scorched earth, and leather. Beautiful on the palate as well, it's full-bodied, has a lush, mouth-filling texture, nicely integrated oak, and polished tannins. It's up with the top wines at the price and is well worth seeking out. It's going to keep for at least 15 years or more.

The 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Jayson is a dark, bold and delicious wine to drink now and over the next handful of years. Ripe red cherry, plum, mocha, spice and new leather are front and center in this tasty, inviting red. There is certainly plenty to like.

Pahlmeyer's 2019 Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon features notes of vanilla, cedar and black cherries-just a wonderfully harmonious swirl of flavors. It's full-bodied, rich and velvety, maybe a bit open-knit, but delicious and fun to drink.

Packs hefty cassis, plum sauce and blackberry preserves, with an ample dose of warm cocoa and singed vanilla. Everything melds steadily through the broad finish. Shows more oomph than purity, though. For fans of the style. Best from 2023 through 2030.
