Pahlmeyer Red--Vintage 2001
Napa Valley
In two six-bottle original cartons
"Possibly the finest proprietary red since the 1997, the 2001 Proprietary Red is a blend of 80 Cabernet Sauvignon, 14 Merlot, 3 Cabernet Franc, 2 Petit Verdot, and 1 Malbec that was aged in new Taransaud barrels. It exhibits a dense saturated purple color in addition to a big, sweet nose of road tar, smoke, chocolate, blackberries, and creme de cassis. Like most 2001s, it possesses considerable structure as well as high tannin, real delineation, and a full-bodied, powerful finish. It should hit its peak in 4-6 years, and age well for 15+. Impressive!" Robert Parker, Wine Advocate #150 (Dec 2003)
