Critics scores
98 James Suckling
Delicious, velvety and mouth-filling, this wine could convert any merlot skeptic to being a fan. Mountain grown in the Stagecoach Vineyard and Waters Vineyard, it is intense and saturated with flavor, but wrapped in luscious tannins that tempt you to drink it now. Blueberries, creme de cassis, cherries, cream and mint. 100% merlot. Drinkable now, but best from 2028.

“All I wanted to do was create my own ‘California Mouton’ – a rich, powerful Napa Valley Bordeaux blend, a wine that would drop wine lovers to their knees,” says Jayson Pahlmeyer, founder and owner of this top West Coast estate. Situated 2100 feet-above-sea-level, among the Atlas Peak appellation in Napa Valley, you will find the glorious Pahlmeyer Estate. Reflecting their commitment to the environment, this 55-hectare property has completely converted to sustainable viticulture. These innovative practices, along with reduced yielding methods and inventive vinification ideas, Jayson Pahlmeyer has realized his dream of a true ‘California Mouton’. Today, as one of Napa Valley’s leading producers, Pahlmeyer succeeds in crafting three super-premium Californian wines – the Proprietary Red, a Merlot, and a Chardonnay.
