Seductive, plush, very ripe and generously proportioned Napa wine here from Pahlmeyer, with full-on, 15.2% alcohol,...

This is a big, dark, dense and quite juicy red with some tartness and edginess. Not quite ready for prime time. Also...

Hotness (15.2%) certainly comes across. Lots of plummy notes - a touch of Christmas spice, bay leaf, sweet tobacco...
