Tasting Note

Aromas of blackberry and cassis leap from the glass with an underscore of black olive and dark earth. The palate is muscular yet refined, a lithe dance of richness and nuance. A focused core of fresh dark fruit—blackberry, boysenberry, and black plum near the skin—is enveloped in polished tannins that lend a weighty grip without overpowering. A lifting note of lingonberry jam runs long through the finish, interplaying with hints of cedar, fresh leather, and sage that echo long on the finish.

Product Notes

The Pahlmeyer Napa Valley Merlot is an exquisite American wine. It manifests itself with regal garnet hues, revealing a robust blend of raspberry and blackberry bouquets. Flavours radiate with sumptuous ripe plum, elucidated amidst delicate whispers of cinnamon and cacao. The handling is remarkable, ensuring tannins harmonise into a velvety texture, inviting comparisons to an opulent velvet blanket. Both finessed and intense, it remarkably showcases stateside Merlot's compelling allure. Sourced from the heart of California's prestigious Napa Valley, Pahlmeyer's Merlot offers an engrossing narrative of New World wine and a captivating treat for the discerning palate.
