Palmaz Vineyards
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley, California, USA
Wednesday Wine Committee. Great hosting by Gavin. 1 sparkler, 4 whites, 4 reds and 2 dessert wines. All served blind as usual.
A very pretty wine. Fairly integrated, smooth and balanced. Aromatics of blackberries and black cherries, black tea and vanilla pipe tobacco. The entry was a bit light but the mid palate was beautifully textured and sweet. Slight herbal character toward the finish, which had me call this left bank Bordeaux from mid 2000s.

08' Palmaz Cabernet. I'll just jump right into it. I keep taking sips of this wine... thinking I've tasted this before? Two things come to mind. Rubicon & Favia cab combo.🤔Elegant, soft & silky. Chocolate, black fruits, dried red fruits. Not quite as complexed as those wines. That might have something to do with the vintage? Nevertheless, very appealing. Drinking now. What's not to like. If visiting Napa a great tour.

Jun 26th, 2016Fine silky tannins, basil, vibrant acidity, powerful black fruit. It will only get better with age.

Chewy mouth coating with a nice finish. Florals are very nice. Stroll Down Memory Lane at Palmaz Vineyards

This is one of the finest wines I have ever tasted. We purchased this wine at the winery after a top notch tasting experience in 2012. A gentleman named Jordan hosted our private tasting and basically helped us plan the remainder of wine vacation. No disappointments! We have since learned how fortunate we were to have that experience. Apparently it is not easy to get an appointment at Palmaz. Beautiful concentrated fruit and structure followed by a lingering finish. Seamless and elegant start to finish! Nirvana! Cheers!

Interesting wine. Very full and rich. Upon opening nice hammy nose. Now tasting three days later. Tannins have softened and fruit really emerges. Wish it had more balance of earth and a more lasting linger. Typically napa in this regard. Ok but too expensive for what it delivers.
