Jayson Pahlmeyer started his own winery in the 1980’s as an attempt to create a Mouton-type empire within California. He wisely chose the Atlas Peak AVA as the place to build on his vision.
Pahlmeyer Wines had earned a reputation for their big, bold taste crafted from prestigious mountain fruit in the Napa Valley. With everything going according to plan, Jayson and his winemaking team were ready to look beyond their portfolio and ended up doing so in the 1992 vintage. It was a particularly exceptional year with strong yields, so they decided to launch a second label that would complement the Pahlmeyer portfolio: Jayson by Pahlmeyer.
Today, Jayson offers an expanded portfolio of wines known for their rich, high-quality taste that are an homage to their founder’s huge personality, humor and joy for living.
This is a classic Pahlmeyer Red– big and brawny, but beautifully structured and harmonious. It’s an exciting blend of Cabernet, Malbec, Merlot and Zinfandel, all expertly crafted together. It lends seductive aromas of bright, freshly picked red fruit, along with raspberry, dark plum and black currents. On the palate, a full-bodied burst of red and dark fruits, with hints of caramel and butterscotch that linger through the finish. There’s a lot to like here– velvety and deeply expressive, this is a seamless blend that will leave you begging for another sip.

95 Points, James Suckling
A creamy, full-bodied red with aromas of stewed blackberries, blackcurrants, dark chocolate, black tea and sweet tobacco. Ripe, polished tannins support a velvety core of dark fruit and chocolate. Delicious finish. Tight and so together. Drink or hold.
93 Points, Wine Spectator
Powerful and well-structured, with zesty acidity to the dried red berry and currant flavors. Minerally richness lingers into the crunchy finish, with plenty of savoriness. Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Zinfandel, Cabernet Franc and Petite Sirah. Drink now through 2025.
The Tonelli family are royalty in this region, with four generations of grape growers leading the way and even establishing the local D.O.C. Their 2020 Ponente is 100% Sangiovese and is an absolutely incredible wine for the price. Less than $20/bottle for fleshed out, high-toned, zipped up Sangiovese? Count me in. It screams for pizza or summer salads, squash or a charcuterie plate. It’s about to be one of your new favorites.

With Herve and Fabre Montmayou wracking up NYT features, huge scores, gold medals and lifetime achievement awards, I’m left with one choice: get in now or be left in the cold. Waiting for the scores to roll in is a luxury that we know longer have with Fabre Montmayou. Good for the winery, but not so good for us. Rest assured though, the 2020 Cabernet Franc Herve sent me is fantastic, and will surely be minted with the same kind of high-flying praise as the vintage before it. But by that time, you’ll only have a bottle or two left in the cellar.
This year, the Eastside Cuvee hails from a primo vineyard just off the Silverado Trail– perfectly positioned next to neighbors Caymus and Frog’s Leap and just down the road, Quintessa. Amongst the elite, Carl Roy’s team locked into some incredible fruit, with gorgeous blackberry jammy opulence, firm grippy tannins and that signature Rutherford earthiness to the finish that many try to emulate but can only be produced off the special soil from which this beauty was created.
With seemingly infinite access to some of the absolute very best vineyards in the most choice AVAs in the valley, the Wagner’s set out to make Quilt– a Cabernet blend from a patchwork of the top sites in Napa (Oakville, St Helena, Atlas Peak, Coombsville, Calistoga, and Howell Mountain.) The brand new 2019 edition is a beauty – deeply concentrated, rich and a truly show stopping Cabernet. It’s a dark, hedonistic blend that combines elegance with power and pairs the two together effortlessly.
