Nose

Offers a nose of melon, old-fashioned citrus hard candy and Provençal honey.

Palate

The mid-palate has great weight with flavors of glazed pineapple, vanilla and angel food cake. The finish is crisp and lingers long after the last sip with well integrated fruit flavors.

Bottling

Our wines are never fined or sterile filtered. Bottled Aug. 27, 2008.

Winemaking

All of our Chardonnay grapes are gently whole cluster pressed. After overnight settling, the juice is racked to barrels to undergo 100% native yeast barrel fermentation followed by malolactic fermentation.

Aging

The resulting wine is aged in 90% new French oak barrels for 10 months. The lees are stirred weekly to bring more complexity to the wine.

Appearance

The Jayson Chardonnay is yellow-green in color.
