Tasting Notes:

98 points James Suckling

Blackberries, blackcurrants and hints of mint. Full-bodied with very fine, velvety tannins. Turns firm and structured with a fine chewiness and a caressing mouth-feel. Lively, too.  (3/2022)

96 points Wine Enthusiast

Serious and sophisticated, this opulent wine drips with concentrated blueberries, black cherries and dark chocolate on a massive frame of tannins that is surprisingly velvety and enticing. Subtle oak spices like graphite, espresso and crema add tasty nuances. Katie Vogt blended this beauty from 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, plus Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc. *Cellar Selection* (JG)  (9/2023)

95 points Decanter

A Napa Valley staple, Pahlmeyer was sold to E&J Gallo in 2019 and winemaker Katie Vogt is currently in charge. Decadent black fruit aromas are supercharged with lavish oak, tinged with leather and vanilla. Rich and opulent, with lacy black fruits, fine-grained tannins, pops of minty freshness, chocolate and wet river stones. With Gallo’s resources funneled into this iconic label, it will be one to watch over the coming years. (JC)  (6/2022)

95 points Wine Advocate

Mainly off the estate vineyard and mainly Cabernet Sauvignon (77%), Pahlmeyer’s 2019 Proprietary Red spent 18 months in almost all new French oak. Gentle herbal notes accent cherry and cassis on the nose of this full-bodied wine, which manages to be rich and velvety without ever being heavy. Waves of ripe fruit, cedary oak and savory loam linger on the long, elegant finish. (JC)  (5/2022)
