Jayson Red Wine Napa Valley
Purple/black color. Pure, dramatic aromas of smoke, cassis and mocha. In the mouth, there is an intense, juicy/spicy element complemented by deep, rich flavors. Fabulous texture, with sweet, integrated tannin.

Winemaking Notes
The grape varietals comprising this vintage came from five ultra-premium vineyards in Napa Valley, located in the sub-appellations of Howell Mountain and Wooden Valley as well as a small percentage from the Russian River Valley in Sonoma County. Each of these vineyards was expertly manicured; every effort was made to ensure that the fruit would develop its full flavor potential. This wine was neither fined nor filtered.
