The 2008 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red is seductive, with complex layers of ripe blackberry, sweet currant, dried herbs, anise and floral. This delivers both power and elegance with fine tannins and a long ripe finish. This beauty should easily last a decade. Composed of 82% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 1% Malbec. (Drink 2013-2028) - August, 2012 (JD)
