Community Tasting Note

Saturday, February 1, 2014 - Night of Cabs with the Shack's: What struck me first about this wine was the nose was completely different from the other wines tasted. This had aromas of vanilla, creme de cassis and blackberry on the nose. It had a few similar qualities to the Kapcsandy Grand Vin but I have never had found this on any other vintage from Pahlmeyer. On the palate, I again got vanilla, raspberry, cherry and another strong element that I wanted to say was brown sugar but it really wasn't that. Ended with another long finish of about 45-50 seconds. This to me, was even more different than the second wine when compared to the first wine. You could tell it was California but it had a certain Bordeaux like quality to it. I guessed a Dominus. Was very surprised when it was a Pahlmeyer since I have had several vintages of this and it was always straight up Napa Cab. Decanted 12 hours.
