The depth and complexity of this wine are immediately apparent with a rush of crushed black cherry, fraises des bois, and wild mushroom on the nose. The palate opens, layer upon plush layer, with raspberry, strawberry, and lingonberry, all held beautifully in focus by integrated polished tannins.

A blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc and 2% Malbec, the 2020 Jayson Red Wine is gently herbal, with additional scents of ripe cherries, cassis and cedar. While it is a bit suppler than the Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon from the same vintage, this full-bodied effort is still slightly coarse in feel, with a drying astringency on the finish that may never fully resolve; enjoy this wine young.
