2013
Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine’s dark burgundy core pushes to the very edge of the glass, heralding intense aromas of black raspberry, ripe blueberry and vanilla bean, dusted with sophisticated notes of crushed slate. The entry is plush with ripe black cherry and warm baking spices, lifted by a fresh acidity and fine-grained tannins. Its ever-lasting finish lingers on notes of wild blackberry and cedar-infused dark chocolate.

Winemaking Notes
Grape clusters were gravity-fed onto a vibrating table with two screens to sift out materials other than grapes (MOG) while we simultaneously hand-sorted. The clusters were then then gently dropped into our Bucher Oscyllis 200 destemmer, then another vibrating screen for a final hand sorting of the berries before they are delivered into our open top fermenters. After five days of cold maceration, the fruit enters primary fermentation for two to three weeks, then is gently pressed in our stainless steel basket. The wine was then transferred to barrel to finish malolactic fermentation and aged in 55% new French oak Bordeaux barrels for 16 months. The wine is bottled unfined and lightly filtered.
Combines power and finesse, offering a mix of intense dark berry, mocha, lead pencil and licorice flavors amid firm yet graceful tannins that have a pleasantly chewy edge.
