The 2013 Pahlmeyer Cabernet Sauvignon Pièce de Résistance is a premium micro-cuvée crafted from the finest barrels at Pahlmeyer Estate in Napa Valley. This wine is characterized by its deep and powerful profile, showcasing rich flavors of cassis, blackberry, and red cherry jam, complemented by notes of mint and licorice. Aged in 100% French oak, it presents a silky texture with a remarkable concentration and balance. The wine's complexity is enhanced by hints of forest floor and subtle spices. Designed for longevity, this magnum release reflects a perfect vintage and highlights the winery's Bordeaux-clone ambitions.
