Inaugural Release! Jayson Pinot Noir by Pahlmeyer

2005 Jayson (By Pahlmeyer)

Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast

$789/case, $65.75/bottle

Sourced from Pahlmeyer’s Wayfarer Vineyard two ridges in from the Pacific Ocean, the Jayson Pinot Noir is a "declassification" of the Pahlmeyer Pinot Noir. After a meticulous selection process in assembling the final blend of the Pahlmeyer Pinot Noir, Erin Green determines which to bottle under the Jayson label.

The winery never purchases juice or wine to make Jayson wines, and as far as the barrels used, winemaking, etc.; they are treated just like the Pahlmeyer wines.

Erin describes this Pinot as having a nose of Bing cherries and rich earth, with blackberry and elegant tannins on the palate; the wine has a long complex finish with touches of plum and spice, with a long elegant finish. "The fruit and acid balance in this wine make it a quintessential Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir, lively in the mouth with lots of stuffing and complexity at the same time," she says.

Miner Wild Yeast-Cult Chardonnay Classic?

Pre Release – Wine to arrive at our shop the first week of June.

2005 Miner Wild Yeast Chardonnay Napa Valley

$600/case, $50/bottle

Miner Wild Yeast Chardonnay is back with a vengeance; and it's as rich and decadent as ever. The 2005 might be the best version of this cult Chardonnay classic yet.

Aromas of vanilla and pear are followed by effusive ripe fruit flavors, buttery goodness, and subtle toast on the palate. Citrus and caramel notes add to the intrigue of this smooth, juicy, dramatic, supple and unabashedly sexy chardonnay.

The 2004 was a favorite among our clients and disappeared very quickly and we expect the same to happen with the 2005 version………
