Jayson by Pahlmeyer, Chardonnay, Napa Valley, California, USA 2021

Fruit sources are from Carneros, St. Helena, and Napa Valley AVAs. The Jayson wines are soft and approachable at the pop of the cork and ready to drink. Native fermentation in 60% new French oak with some medium-plus toast and some second and third-use Pahlmeyer Chardonnay barrels. Aromatically, this is bright with yellow apples laced with vanilla, orange blossoms, and nuts. Medium-bodied with a hefty dose of creamy ripe fruit and a long finish.
