Jayson started in 1993, as winemakers Helen Turley, Bob Levy and Randy Dunn were tasting with winery founder Jayson Pahlmeyer and wondering what to do with some extra barrels of red that didn't quite fit in the Pahlmeyer blend. Jayson by Pahlmeyer was the result, and it's still grown, made and raised with the same care and quality commitment of the famed main label.

The 2021 Jayson Chardonnay is pure luxury from first sniff to last swallow. Full, fleshy and round in feel, it serves up oodles of ripe pear, orange blossom, lemon tart, tangerine and baked apricot aromas and flavors. A touch of fresh butter, caramel, vanilla and toast complement the fruit without overwhelming it. Lovely stuff for solo sipping and rich, creamy, foods.

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

"Packs an exotic note of litsea oil and a hint of flint, which becomes a smoky grace note for the core of ripe pear, lemon sherbet, makrut lime leaf, sweet grass, salted caramel and toffee. Reveals honeysuckle elements that linger on the long, expressive finish, with a fresh thread of acidity. Drink now through 2028."

James Suckling: 93 Points

"Sliced cooked apples with biscuit and pie crust undertones, as well as hints of spices with some salted caramel. Hints of apricot. Full-bodied with a firmness and depth. Creamy-textured phenolics and great length. One of the best I have tasted. It is rich and flavorful, yet it shows great depth and length. Drinkable, but better in two or three years."
