Pahlmeyer and Vineyard 29

Sunday night we had dinner with good friends and had two bottles of really good wine.


We started of with a bottle of Pahlmeyer 2003 Napa Valley Proprietary Red Wine. Winemaker Erin Green made this from 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot, 4.5% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petite Verdot, and 0.5% Malbec.
This wine shows a dark garnet color in the glass.
On the nose, dark fruit and berries with oak and a smokey note.
The palate exudes dark plum, black cherry, black currant, and again notes of smoke. The wine is surprisingly smooth for being relatively young. Rich in fruit and full bodied, with good acidity, and velvety well integrated tannins. All this and a long beautiful finish make this a great bottle of wine.


Next up was Vineyard 29 2005 Cru Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The grapes were sourced from six vineyards across Napa Valley, hand sorted and gently processed in the full gravity flow winery. Aged 18 months in French Oak, 60% new.
This wine has a dark, ruby red/purple color in the glass. The nose screams of ripe, dark fruit and berries, dark cherry, and vanilla.
The fruit on the palate is equally lush with dark cherry, black currant, and coffee. All with a spice note. The acidity is sufficient and the tannins soft. This wine is young, but very approachable and drinks nicely. It's lush and fruity with a lengthy finish and I can't wait to revisit it in the future.

Hello Sonadora, how is the rain down there better than here I bet. You are drinking the good stuff. Pahlmeyer is made at the Napa Wine Company or cultwinecentral.com the old Inglenook winery at Oakville crossroads and highway 29 now owned by the Hoxsey's. They bring a army to make the wine as first they sort the berries and hand pick the best berries to go into the wine, the not quite as good is used in the Jayson label #2 wine and the rest is sold to bulk.
Vineyard 29 is an incredible facility and named for being at 2929 highway 29 just north of St Helena the place is built into the hillside and tasting take place 75 feet into the hill! The whole thing is gravity flow and state of the art. You must also try their Zinfandel named Aida for the vineyard up highway 29 toward Calistoga on the right. Vineyard 29 is just across from Revana, I mention this because there is no sign and it is easiest to find if you look for Revana then see the 2929 address sign across the street. Revana is Heidi Barrett's new hangout and another must taste Cabernet where they boast of a 2 minute finish! Good choices keep it up!

Hi, sounds like I have to find myself a bottle of Vineyard 29's Zin as well, or just simply go up and visit the winery, which sounds amazing... I certainly know of Revana which is another one of my favorite Napa cabs. Sounds like we share simular taste.

Cheers, Victoria
