Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red 2018

Blackberries and wild berries on the nose with hints of incense and ink, following through to a full body with super integrated tannins and a long, linear finish. It’s structured, yet so polished and integrated, the tannins spreading beautifully across the palate. Caressing, like silk. This has a higher percentage of Stagecoach Vineyard. Drinkable now, but better in 2024 and onwards. [This has the potential to see 2040.] Score – 98. (jamessuckling.com, Feb. 3, 2022)
