Haha I’m not sure if I’m supposed to share or not and @D_Mowe may need to clarify for me. Buuuttt… if memory serves he purchased the plot or is beginning to purchase fruit from the best plot of the Pahlmeyer vineyard. First bottling of Merlot will be the 2025 vintage
Dustin opened a 1997 Pahlmeyer while we visited and it was ridic. Would have called it 90’s diamond creek or togni if blind and def never would have guessed merlot. It was stellllllllarrrrrrr
Really pumped for it. Lotta great things happening at the Mowe estate. Amped for it all
We did indeed bottle a small amount of 2024 sauvignon Blanc as a second wine but more experimental and the 24 won’t be sold. We have given a bottle from time to time to a visiting guest so a few bottles have shown up on CT.
We had our 22 at a restaurant last week that only got about an hour decant and I was very happy with how it showed. 2022 vintage is definitely more giving early…The 23’s are going to need patients but the wait will be rewarded!!
All good @T.Phillips ! We are pretty excited about this new development. Merlot was my first love - (94 Pahlmeyer merlot to be more specific made by the great Helen Turley). I am very happy with the fruit we brought in this year. Will share more at a later time.
