About Pahlmeyer Winery Pahlmeyer is a celebrated Napa Valley winery founded in the mid-1980s by Jayson Pahlmeyer, a lawyer turned wine visionary who famously arrived in Napa Valley with shoeboxes full of smuggled Bordeaux vine cuttings and a dream of making world-class wine. Based in the Napa Valley AVA, Pahlmeyer is best known for producing critically acclaimed Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Bordeaux-style red blends sourced from high-elevation mountain vineyards — including sites on Atlas Peak, Pritchard Hill, and the Stagecoach Vineyard — which yield grapes of exceptional concentration and complexity. Their wines are crafted with minimal intervention, bottled unfiltered and unfined, to let each vineyard speak for itself. Pahlmeyer wines are highly sought after by collectors and consistently earn outstanding scores from major wine publications. Pahlmeyer Merlot A full-bodied red with aromas of blackberry, dark cherry, and wild raspberry, followed by secondary notes of sage, crushed peppercorn, dark chocolate, and a hint of forest floor. On the palate it is rich and plush with velvety tannins, a lively core of dark fruit, and a long, savory finish. Drink now, or cellar for 5–10 years to let its depth fully unfold.
