From a Coravin at Bacchus Restaurant in Grapevine, TX.

Big and bold, but approachable. Very dark color, full nose, a little spice and hints of Cabernet. Full throat finish. Probably better in a few years, but enjoyable now.

PNP at dinner, excellent, opened and softened a bit during the meal. Nice balance of fruit and somewhat relaxed tannins. A good example of a nice age of Pahlmeyer. Could easily go another few years but not sure it will get much better.

This wine surprised me. From a 750 ML bought at release and cellar stored since purchase. Perfect interpretation of an older Cal Cab. All the fruit and Cal Cab flavors you would expect without the tannins. Did not taste or look old.
The wine looks crimson colored. There is moderate sediment in the bottle. It smells like black currant (cassis) and flint. It tastes like a rich cab of black currant (cassis) with a little earthiness. The body is medium/full. The wine has satin-like texture. The wine finishes long. The wine has low acidity.
