Previously recommended, but no tasting note given. Things just seem to get better and better at Pahlmeyer, a long-standing, brilliant, remarkably consistent source for one of Napa’s finest Merlots, Chardonnays, and Pinot Noirs. Tel. (707) 255-2321; Fax (707) 255-6786

Score 91/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, May 2008
Bright yellow. Lemon drop, orange, pineapple, ginger, smoke and minerals on the slightly exotic nose. Tactile and dry, with a chewy phenolic element and a note of butterscotch; today I find this a bit less fruity than the 2005 version. There's still a slight edge of acidity here that calls for 6 to 12 months of patience. Winemaker Erin Green routinely stirs the lees through May.
