About Pahlmeyer Winery

90 Points | International Wine Cellar , May/June 2010
($70; mostly from estate fruit) Good medium yellow. Fresh pineapple and peach on the nose, along with a more tropical quality and a floral element; fruitier than the Sonoma Coast bottling. Chewy, supple and dense, with a slightly phenolic aggressiveness to the somewhat saline flavors of white plum and pineapple. A bit less suave and energetic than the Sonoma Coast bottling, finishing with an almost tannic impression. (I was unable to taste the 2008 pinot noir, as it had just been bottled.)
