Pahlmeyer Merlot 2001 (Napa Valley)

Producer: 
Pahlmeyer
Item name: 
Merlot (Napa Valley)
Wine type: 
Red
Reviewer: 
Tom DiNardo

This wine was made famous in the movie “Disclosure” with Demi Moore. Aromas of berries and tobacco welcome the forthcoming sensual experience. This structured merlot offers great balance between the wines acids and alcohol and is perfect for lengthy cellaring. The palette features mild tannins, and flavors of berries, plum, tobacco and smoke and moderately long finish. Pahlmeyer is one of my favorite merlots. Drink now or hold.
