Pahlmeyer

Napa Valley Merlot 2010

Greg Ballington
8.9

A bit hazy, cloudy and dark ruby red. Thick baking cocoa on the nose with a touch porty, tight black cherries, and raspberries. Strong acidity with medium plus tannins (6.5/10) and full bodied. Seemed a bit disjointed even with a 2 hour decant. Layered palate with plums, cedar, a bit of animal notes like leather, leaves, a touch earthy and dark cherries too. Long finish. Might be going through a dumb phase and need some time. Drink till 2023. — 9 years ago

Any cork taint? Seems a little off for Pahlmeyer. I have a 2003 that I'm sure would clear the board in the right application. Sorry that it didn't show well!

Perfect shelf fish companion! Perfect acid level resulting in a crips Apple refresher. As the wine warms, a creamy finish develops.
