Weekend Wine Review Pahlmeyer Merlot 2013

By
Industry Observer

The Weekend Wine Review is a weekly series I will do on Monday’s featuring the wine tasted over the weekend. We continued the celebration of our friends Birthday this weekend, only the adults this time and we took him out to The Capital Grille as part of his birthday celebration and also as a Thank You for doing a yeoman’s job taking my dad back and for to dialysis. We ordered Pahlmeyer Merlot 2013, experts say it is best to drink after 2019. It was an excellent choice, the wine was decanted and let to breathe for a bit. The wine was a deep intense purple hue, it also had a rich dark velvety mocha taste with smokiness hints of blackberry was apparent. It retails for about $85 dollars and is definitely as special occasion wine as our budget does not allow for this every week!

Pahlmeyer is another fine Napa Valley winery.  I haven't tried their Merlot.  Perhaps there will be a special occasion and that will change!

Yolanda, sounds like a great wine to celebrate with.   Had some great Malbec - Catena with friends a couple of weeks ago, and bought some for my house too.

That is pricey, but it sounds worth it. This wine sounds very complex and I would like to try it.

Endre Barath, Jr. I have seen the movie Sideways it has been awhile but...I drink what I like...and I do consider myself a wine snob there are some Merlots that are better than some Cabs!
