2020 Pahlmeyer "Jayson" Napa Valley Chardonnay

93 Points from Wine Spectator: "Nuanced, on a supple, creamy frame, with honeyed details of peach pastry, orange blossoms, salted butterscotch, toasted brioche and toasted herbs and spices. Strikes an appealing balance between richness and a crisp, fresh acidity that keeps the flavors in focus. Drink now through 2031. 2,847 cases made." (Web Only, 2023)

From Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The 2020 Jayson Chardonnay—entirely barrel fermented and aged in French oak—is gently toasty, with notes of citrus custard, melon and a hint of movie popcorn. It's medium to full-bodied and silky, with a bright, lemon-lime finish." (3/31/2023)
