James Suckling, 98 Points 

"Blackberries, blackcurrants and hints of mint. Full-bodied with very fine, velvety tannins. Turns firm and structured with a fine chewiness and a caressing mouth-feel. Lively, too...Very attractive now, but will be better in four to five years. Try after 2026." 

Winemaker Notes: 

"The 2019 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red is a rich and finely detailed tapestry of the finest lots across their four mountain vineyards. The bounding aromas flicker between fruity and earthy with an interweaving of wild blueberry, black plum, cassis, saddle leather, and cedar. The opulent palate is layered and expansive with captivating flavors of crushed ripe blackberry and castelvetrano olive. The focused fruit core is framed by generous fine-grained tannins, surging long with an echo of earth and spice."
