The Jayson portfolio is the second label of Pahlmeyer. Jayson wines honors its namesake, Jayson Pahlmeyer, and exemplify his unquenchable desire for excellence and cutting-edge artisanal winemaking. Produced with the same impeccable standards and winemaking pedigree for which Pahlmeyer is known, Jayson wines are at once luxurious and instantly approachable. The wines are expertly made from select vineyard blocks and barrels, each with a style all their own. The new label showcases the wines’ pedigree and distinction.

For Jayson Pinot, 100% Pinot Noir grape clusters from the Sonoma Coast AVA are hand-picked at night, then hand-sorted at the winery. They reserved 1% for whole-cluster fermentation, then gently destemmed the rest using only whole, intact berries for fermentation. After cold-soaking for five to seven days, the grapes entered fermentation for 14 to 19 days, then underwent gentle basket pressing. Winemaker Bibiana Gonzalez Rave used 100% free-run juice to ensure optimum quality, and aged the wine for nine months in 26% new French oak.
