Description

Presenting the magnificent 2018 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red, a true testament to Napa Valley's prowess and a standout vintage!

The 2018 growing season in Napa was, in a word, exceptional. After a turbulent 2017, nature delivered a near-perfect year. Abundant winter rains were followed by a mild spring and summer, free from extreme heat spikes. This created an unhurried, extended ripening period, allowing grapes to achieve optimal phenolic maturity with beautiful balance and complexity. Winemakers lauded the "Goldilocks" conditions, resulting in wines with incredible flavor, density, and a striking freshness. Many critics are calling 2018 one of Napa's finest in a decade, noting its elegance and silky tannins.

This Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red embodies that excellence. A Bordeaux-style blend, predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, it delivers a profound experience.

Critic scores for the 2018 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red are stellar:
* Jeb Dunnuck: 97 points – "could easily be mistaken for a great vintage from Château Latour, at least aromatically."
* Vinous: 97 points – "every bit as magnificent as it was from barrel, if not moreso. It's just a great expression of the year."
* Robert Parker Wine Advocate: 95-97 points – Notes vibrant blackcurrant and blackberry scents.
* Wine Enthusiast: 94 points – "thick, rich... dazzles in dark brooding berry fruit. Concentrated and sublimely textured."
* Wine Spectator: 94 points – "dark and winey, with cassis, plum reduction and blackberry paste flavors."
With its intense dark fruit, hints of wild herbs, cedar, and graphite, this wine offers layers of complexity and a remarkably long, polished finish. While delicious now with decanting, this Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red is built to age gracefully, offering incredible potential for enjoyment from 2028 and beyond, for 30+ years.

Stored in humidity/temperature controlled environment since release.

This wine retails at £220 where available.
