Jayson Pahlmeyer planted his vineyard in 1981 using “suitcase clones” allegedly smuggled from France. His founding philosophy was to create a “California Mouton” and has undoubtedly secured his winery’s reputation as one of the finest producers of Bordeaux varieties in Napa. The 1995 Proprietary Red is a sensational release blessed by the winemaking expertise of the legendary Helen Turley. It is expressive and intense with fabulous flavour extract, refined texture and seamless balance.

Vinous
Dark red. Wild, slightly rustic aromas of raspberry, mocha and leather. Boasts surprising sweetness and intensity to its red fruit flavors, along with complicating notes of game and incense and a saline suggestion of ripe tomato. The firm, fine tannins are quite sweet and silky. Shows a whiff of Band-Aid that suggests some brett, but this wine is long on personality. I'd enjoy it over the next few years before its sweetness fades. This wine was made by Helen Turley.
