Pahlmeyer 1987 Napa Valley Red Blend: A Cellar Treasure Now Perfectly Matured

Experience a legendary piece of Napa Valley history with this exceptional 1987 Pahlmeyer Proprietary Red Blend. Crafted in California’s most prestigious wine region during a remarkable vintage, this collectible wine represents the pinnacle of age-worthy Bordeaux-style artistry.

Originally celebrated by Wine Spectator (91 Points) for its intense structure and vibrant core of tart currant and plum fruit layered with complex oak notes and firm tannins, this wine was destined for greatness with patience. The critics’ advice was clear: cellar until at least 1998. Decades later, that careful maturation has yielded extraordinary rewards. What was once “youthful and awkward” has blossomed into a harmonious symphony of evolved flavors – think rich dark fruit preserves seamlessly integrated with earthy truffle notes, leather, cedar box spice, and resolved tannins offering a velvety texture.

This rare 1987 California Cabernet blend showcases Pahlmeyer’s renowned commitment to quality from its inception. The intricate composition – featuring Cabernet Sauvignon supported by Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec – delivers profound depth and complexity unique to aged Napa Valley wines. At 12.5% alcohol, it offers elegance alongside its power.

As a cornerstone of any fine wine collection, this investment-grade Napa Valley red is now at its peak drinking window. Savor a true piece of vinous heritage – an ultra-premium California Cabernet experience defined by time and terroir.
