Occasional wine note
This is a big Napa Cab that really delivers the power, opulence, and complexity you should expect from Pahlmeyer's flagship offering. There seems to be a million things happening with every sip of this gem - a pretty floral nose, ripe dark fruit, dried herbs, minerality, earth, spice, meaty tannins, the works. Get some!

Wine Enthusiast
A sophisticated red blend with command of its style, this wine brings Cabernet Sauvignon together with the attributes of Merlot, Petit Verdot, and Malbec to deliver savory flavors of blue and black fruits, graphite and gravel, lifted by a waft of violet and fresh herbs. The tannins are abundant while approachable, balanced by persistent acidity that creates an upright structure and welcoming presentation. Delicious.

The Wine Independent
The 2021 Proprietary Red...charges out of the glass with exuberant notes of warm cassis, redcurrant preserves, and kirsch, followed by suggestions of lilacs, crushed rocks, wild sage, and Indian spices with a waft of mossy tree bark. The full-bodied palate vibrates with energetic black and red berry flavors, framed by ripe, grainy tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a lingering ferrous note.
