"Pahlmeyerâs Merlot was the uncontested top California Merlot for many years, but significant competition has emerged from the upstart KapcsĂ ndy Estate in Yountville. However, Pahlmeyerâs offering remains one of the classic examples of just how great Merlot can be in Napa. The 2006 Merlot (89% Merlot and 11% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits sweet chocolate, mocha, cola, black cherry, and plum aromas and flavors as well as full body, a sumptuous, dense texture, and no hard edges. The beautifully integrated acidity, tannin, and wood result in a hedonistic, mouthfilling, luscious Merlot . . . . Things just seem to get better and better at Pahlmeyer, a long-standing, brilliant, remarkably consistent source for one of Napaâs finest Merlots, Chardonnays, and Pinot Noirs."

California's flagship appellation for opulent, structured Cabernet Sauvignon of ripe fruit, plush tannins and cellar-worthy depth.
Produces plush, supple, fruit-forward reds with plum and chocolate notes. Softer and earlier-maturing than Cabernet, it adds flesh and roundness to blends and stars in Right Bank Bordeaux.
