The Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red 2010 is a notable offering from Pahlmeyer, a Napa winery recognised for its Bordeaux-style blends. This vintage predominantly features Cabernet Sauvignon, supported by Merlot and Petit Verdot. Sourced from high-elevation vineyards, Pahlmeyer emphasises meticulous vineyard management and selective hand-harvesting. The wine undergoes fermentation with native yeasts, followed by an ageing process of about 20 months in predominantly new French oak barrels. This method results in a structured palate showcasing dark fruit characteristics, cedar and subtle herbal notes, with firm tannins that suggest considerable ageing potential.

Vinous
Deep medium ruby to the rim. Musky nose melds currant, plum, tobacco leaf, milk chocolate and licorice. Fat, plush and sweet on entry, then quite full and ripe in the middle palate, with savory redcurrant, plum, spice, tobacco and mocha flavors dominating. Conveys a high-pH texture and a whiff of beefsteak tomato leavened by an herbal element. A bit unrefined, this is a plush, large-scaled 2010. Finishes with nicely buffered tannins and very good length--ready to go now! This may lose its spring if you wait too long. Stephen Tanzer1st May 2020
