Always fun to celebrate a birthday with a birth year bottle! I opened a bottle of this a few months back and couldn’t believe how good it was.

Coming from the famed Caldwell vineyard, this has such a bright eucalyptus note! Deep red/black in the glass with no bricking! Dusty fig, sweet espresso, dirty red and black berry fruit. Even after following from bottle over 3-4hrs, this has a natural cool/minty vibe alongside dark cocoa and sweet black cassis. So much youth and tannin! I should have spaced my two bottles out…these are still cruising! — 15 days ago

Wonderful cab. Fruit forward which makes sense given the vintage. Layers of complexity make this a really interesting one as it warms and changes character. — 4 months ago

Very enjoyable full-bodied Chardonnay. At the $60 price point, this will be for special occasions rather than every day. — 8 days ago

3/2024. Good color and flavor. Very nice on the palate and finish. All caught me by surprise considering the vintage, 2012. — 2 months ago

Deep ruby going to garnet at this age. Can't see the stem standing over the glass. Nose surprisingly bright and new oak influence still being felt. While not a carbonic process you can feel the whole berry fermentation works well to great here. — 4 months ago

Flight #1 of our 1997 Retrospective. Presented single-blind; no formal notes. Noticeably darker, bluer-fruited than the others in the flight. Plush and more rounded fruit profile. Structure still there. Arguably the most youthful of the flight since not all of the fruit is in the desiccated stage. Certainly the most modern of the flight. Called “Pahlmeyer”. Drink now through 2027. — 3 months ago
