Tasting Notes and Description

Tasting Notes For Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Proprietary Red 2018

Crafted with unparalleled attention to detail, this wine is the epitome of elegance and finesse. The 2018 vintage is a true standout, with rich aromas of wild blackberry, cocoa, and supple leather that fill the senses.

The deep, structured palate is the hallmark of this wine, showcasing perfectly balanced tannins that are sure to reward patience over the next decade or more. On the palate, flavors of forest berries and black currant are layered with hints of freshly turned earth, aromatic herbs, and dark spices, making for a complex and concentrated experience.

This wine's dark and opaque appearance is indicative of the depth and complexity within each sip. The finish is long and energetic, leaving the palate with a lasting impression.

Critic Ratings

Jeb Dunnuck Review - Rated 97:

The 2018 Red Blend Proprietary Red could easily be mistaken for a great vintage from Château Latour, at least aromatically. Blackcurrants, scorched earth, lead pencil shavings, and a gorgeous sense of minerality all develop in the glass, and it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a deep, concentrated mouthfeel, building tannins (and plenty of them), and a great finish. This brilliant, world-class Cabernet is going to benefit from 4-5 years or more of bottle age and have 30+ years of longevity. The blend is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot, and 1% Cabernet Franc, all brought up in 95% new French oak.


Robert Parker Wine Advocate Review - Rated 96:
Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2018 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red Blend is fairly shut down to begin. With swirling, it delivers vibrant scents of fresh blackcurrant and black berries plus hints of wild thyme, damp soil, black olives and pencil lead. Medium to full-bodied, the palate is tightly wound with loads of herbal and mineral sparks among the crunchy black fruits, with a firm, grainy texture and a lively backbone, finishing with tons of energy and persistence.


Wine Spectator Review - Rated 94:
Dark and winey, with cassis, plum reduction and blackberry paste flavors allied to a singed alder and apple wood backdrop. Delivers dark tobacco and espresso crema accents that line the finish, as the fruit moves through slowly. For fans of the powerful style. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc.

Wine Enthusiast Review - Rated 94:
This is a thick, rich blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 1% Cabernet Franc that dazzles in dark brooding berry fruit. Concentrated and sublimely textured, it is weighty with hints of gun smoke, iron and leather that last for days. This will do well in the cellar.
