July 4, 2023 - This very much surprised to the upside with delicious blackberry fruit and a spice-driven complex finish. At 15.2% alcohol, I wouldn’t have expected it to age well but it has. Mature and ready.

June 19, 2023 - 2009 Pahlmeyer Red Blend. This napa red blend was a nice treat at a recent dinner. The initial nose was awash with new oak and red fruit that settled down with some air. The palate offered more red fruits and acid than I expected but played very well with the food. The mid palate was a little thin and watery, which was the only real letdown here. 93

January 16, 2022 - Consistent with my prior review in 2019. Luscious ripe fruit, notes of tobacco and leather. This time, with two and a half years of more age, and a two hour decant, the high (15.2%) alcohol was not an issue. Well integrated. Time to drink up. I don't see this improving further.
