2005 Jayson Pinot Noir
14.9% alc., 3,330 cases, $65. The grapes were
crushed whole berry and de-stemmed. A cold soak was followed by
fermentation with native yeast, gentle pressing, 9 months of barrel aging in
67% new French oak, and bottled unfiltered. The Jayson Pinot Noir is considered
a “declassification” of the Pahlmeyer Pinot Noir, but the quality of
the lots that remain after assembling the final blend of the Pahlmeyer Pinot
Noir is still stellar.
·
The sexy nose of dark cherries, blackberries, mushrooms
and earth stands out. The flavors mimic the aromas with an added spice and
woodsy influence in the background. After four hours, a little spice comes forth in the nose and a hint of
root beer enlivens the flavors. Everything is nicely balanced with the tannins well-concealed and the alcohol
well-integrated. No question this is a broad-shouldered middleweight Pinot Noir with a rich core of
fruit, but it dances softly on the palate.
