Tasting Notes
Aroma
Blackberry, leather and Spanish cedar are revealed at first swirl, complemented by subtle hints of dried sage.
Palate & Finish
Dark and opaque, the concentrated, complex palate brings generous notes of summer cherries, wild blackberries, berry compote and figs, layered with Mexican chocolate and freshly scraped vanilla bean. Evolving in the glass, characteristics of plum, brown sugar and spice slowly emerge before a lengthy finish.
About
Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red Wine opens with clear, vibrant aromas of blueberry, blackberry, and black cherry, with intriguing nuances of cardamom, vanilla, toast and star anise that balance the intense dark fruit. A complex palate of deep blackberry and currant, with undertones of leather, is supported by firm, silky tannins. This wine honors its high elevation mountain vineyards with a rich, succulent body; a hint of dark chocolate mousse distinguishes the lengthy finish. Proprietary Red is from Napa Valley and is a masterful blend of five Bordeaux-Style varietals. 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, 5 Cabernet Franc, 4% Petit Verdot, 2% Malbec. Varietal Type: 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc Aging Regimen: 22 months aging, 100% new french oak barrels
