Pahlmeyer
Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend
Jammy, with some pine, spice and licorice. Bigger than Shaq.

1 person found it helpfulMay 9th, 201504' Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red. It closed up soon after opening(little ripe-fruit & tight at first) 1 hour+ decanting. Brick red/dark violet. On the nose red/black fruits. These wines are generally not as approachable in their youth. A few years in the bottle they tend to settle down so very nicely. Black fruits are abundant. It is now elegant and very approachable. This 04' is definitely drinking in it's prime now. I do believe it has another 7/10 great years in it. Edit.... I would decant this for 3 hours.

Apr 9th, 2020Concerned cork was bad. Wasn’t. Jammy. Earthy tobacco. Very good, held up well.

Jan 1st, 2020Intense and alluring. Full bodied and still a baby clocking in at 13 years. Merits additional cellaring as it should develop further. Dark red color. Heavy and thick with black fruits, clove, chocolate, and currant. A slight mineral undertone adds character and rounds it out.
