Napa Valley Proprietary Red Blend

If you’re my friend, we’ve broken bread over Pahlmeyer.

@R Bowers awesome wine / thank you sir

Deep ruby red. Mix of blue and red fruits on the nose. Undertones of cedar and light craisons. Rich and extracted, a true powerhouse in Napa. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Solid oak notes, vanilla, cinnamon, some mint and notes of black fruits and red fruit too. Long finish. Heat comes through a little bit, but does not overpower the wine. Drink till 2020.

Bliss in a bottle.

Drinking at it's peak. Tannins are soft with just enough structure to hang onto this classic Cabernet's ornate and satisfying flavors, nose, color and personality.

Truly exceptional. Prior bottle must have gotten some heat.

Terribly disappointed in the 03. Past it's peak. Fading fruit and nothing left of the structure. Maybe the provenance? Sourced from Sokolin. Tasted salty mixed with my tears. Stick with 05 or later.

I wanna make loooooove to this wine, to this wine, to this wine...

Long finish after 10 years. Good fruit, notes of black olives and we'll presented.

Magnum.
