Pahlmeyer Jayson Chardonnay

2021 was a remarkable growing year. All of the vineyards expressed themselves in their purest form. There was a lot of distinct character block to block which allowed pahlmeyer to create truly unique interesting and compelling wines. An arid year resulted in meager yields throughout their vineyards fewer clusters and tiny berries giving them gorgeous concentration. While it was an early vintage gentle weather throughout the growing season allowed the vineyards to develop steadily and fully resulting in intense complex fruit. The berries retained naturally high acidity levels and with low yields and small berries they achieved a concentrated tannin profile. That ideal combination of acidity and tannin with a pure powerful fruit core indicates this will be an age-worthy vintage.
