Jayson Jayson Cabernet Sauvignon 'The Bench' 2023 750ml

Tasting Notes

In the glass, this single-vineyard-designated Napa Valley Cabernet displays a deep, opaque garnet-purple color. The nose opens with intense, opulent aromatics of black plum, creme de cassis, wild blackberry preserve, and dark chocolate, accented by French oak notes of toasted espresso bean, crushed graphite, and warm cedar spice. The palate is voluptuous and full-bodied, driven by ripe, mouth-coating fine-grained tannins, fresh balancing natural acidity, and no effervescence. Aged 15 months in French oak barrels (65% new), it delivers immense depth and structural weight with layers of dark berries and warm vanilla spice lingering through a long, decadent finish. Built for immediate drinking enjoyment while offering excellent cellaring potential over 10 to 15 years.
