The Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red 2008 represents the pinnacle of winemaking at Pahlmeyer Winery, a notable producer established by Jayson Pahlmeyer in Napa Valley. This Bordeaux-style blend consists mainly of Cabernet Sauvignon, supplemented by Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot, reflecting the vineyard`s diverse terroir. Grapes are sourced from prestigious sites such as Waters Ranch and Stagecoach. The wine undergoes meticulous fermentation with native yeasts and is aged for approximately 20 months in new French oak barrels. Flavours of dark fruits, chocolate and earthy notes emerge, supported by firm tannins and adequate acidity, marking its potential for longevity.

Vinous
Saturated ruby. Cool, almost medicinal aromas of black cherry, blackberry and licorice. Still a bit youthfully clenched but displays lovely energy and density without undue weight. The classically dry flavors of dark berries, chocolate and savory minerality are nicely delineated. A very successful vintage for this bottling as there's little sign of overripe fruit. This should evolve slowly and positively for at least another decade.Stephen Tanzer1st May 2018
