The Winery

Pahlmeyer

Jayson Pahlmeyer, a former trial attorney quit his legal work and decided to satisfy his craving for wine into a career in Napa Valley. His dream was to create a “California Mouton” and in 1986 his Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red was the realization of a dream come true, and was the first of many critically acclaimed wines. With the help of many fantastic winemakers from Randy Dunn to Helen Turley they have all helped in the production of this iconic Napa Valley Bordeaux blend. Pahlmeyer’s viticultural practices demand low yields while commanding maximum flavor intensity. Farming in one- to two-acre blocks with a palette of as many as 12 clones for each variety, Pahlmeyer’s world-class pedigree of artisanal winemaking continues to rise to astonishing levels. Magnificent terroir, winemaking soul and masterwork fill each bottle of Pahlmeyer wine.We are excited to offer you today elegant, rigorously classic and age worthy wines!

Tasting Notes

WA94
There are 1,600 cases of the 2006 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast, a 100% destemmed cuvee made from Dijon clones 667, 828, and 777. It reveals classic Cote de Nuits aromas of damp forest floor, black raspberries, cherries, and spring flowers. With terrific fruit, full body, ripe tannin, and a round, generous, savory mouthfeel already displaying tremendous complexity, it should drink well for 7-8 years. Almost half of the fruit comes from Pahlmeyer’s own 24-acre Pinot Noir parcel at his Sonoma Coast vineyard called Wayfarer. Things just seem to get better and better at Pahlmeyer, a long-standing, brilliant, remarkably consistent source for one of Napa’s finest Merlots, Chardonnays, and Pinot Noirs.
