Tasting Notes: Ripe and opulent, the 2020 Jayson Red Blend opens with aromas of blackberry, cassis, and dark chocolate, accented by notes of graphite and vanilla bean. The palate is plush and layered with black plum, blueberry compote, espresso, and subtle baking spice. Polished tannins and well-integrated oak lead to a long, generous finish with hints of cocoa and spice.
