Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Merlot 2012

$78

The Pahlmeyer 2012 Merlot Napa Valley is one of the finest Merlots produced in California. Highly collectible. Very limited. 94 Points Wine Spectator:  "Plush and richly structured, but with a dense, structured core, offering aromas of red currant and toasty mocha that lead to complex flavors of black cherry and Asian spice. Loamy, ripe tannins sneak in on the finish. Drink now through 2018."

Sweet juicy cherry and plum fruit with milk chocolate notes sweet herbs with a touch of fresh earth loam and more. Abig merlot but very elegant silky smooth textur and a firm hand of acidity . A Cabernet drinkers merlot. Finish 45+ most excellent

Sixth of our seven year vertical tonight....Scratch that the 2014 and the 2003 came out too. Deep ruby red. A touch of TCA on the nose with black fruits and spices underneath. It’s bearable. Medium tannins (6.5/10) and medium plus body. Seems a bit delayed and a touch of dark cocoa and black berries. Can’t rate or give drink by. If I did would be around a 91-2 ignoring the nose.

3/2024. Good color and flavor. Very nice on the palate and finish. All caught me by surprise considering the vintage, 2012.

Dark garnet in color. Heady scents of bay leaf, red plum, and tobacco. Mid-palate of dark chocolate, raspberry, and a hint of graphite. Long, plush finish
