Pahlmeyer 2007 Chardonnay (Sonoma Coast)
- $70
A massive Chardonnay, rich in fruit and oak. Shows long, decadent flavors of roasted pineapples, nectarines, honeysuckle, vanilla, buttered toast and meringue, dusted with cinnamon spice and brown sugar. Structure is fortunately provided by crisp acidity and even a framework of wood tannins. Now–2013.

Pahlmeyer 2007 Chardonnay (Napa Valley)
- $70
A very nice Chardonnay that has the dusty, herbal tug that Napa Chards often display. Otherwise it’s very rich, with potent pineapple pie and peach tart flavors, enriched with creamy lees and buttery new oak. Drink now–2012.

Pahlmeyer 2010 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- $75
Right off the bat, this Pinot impresses for sheer depth of fruity flavor. It’s rich and showy with plums and cherries, spicy notes of tobacco and pine, and toasty, new oak. The tannin-acid structure is impeccably balanced. Delicious to drink now, but should also mature beautifully. A majority of the grapes come from the winery’s Wayfarer Vineyard, in the new Fort…

Pahlmeyer 2006 Merlot (Napa Valley)
- $90
An exceptionally well-structured, elegant Merlot that would have been better if not for the vintage, which was less than stellar. Not fully ripe, the wine shows herb- and tobacco-influenced black cherry, blackberry, red currant and oak flavors, with complex notes of licorice, bacon and black pepper. Distinguished, but not an ager. Now–2011.

Pahlmeyer 2006 Red (Napa Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $125
Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon, with smaller percentages of the other four Bordeaux varieties, this strongly tasting wine is fruity-sweet in blackberries, cherries, raspberries, cocoa and new smoky oak. It’s a little hot in alcohol, which robs it of some elegance. But it’s delicious and creamy, and could gain some subtlety with a few years in the bottle.

Pahlmeyer 2007 Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast)
- Online Exclusive
- $90
Arch and acidic now, which is this wine’s main feature. It cuts across the palate with a bite, and you have to wonder if that sharpness will ever go away. Otherwise, it’s dry, silky and rich in ripe wild cherry, cola and sandalwood flavors.
