February 20, 2012 – Wine: 2005 Pahlmeyer Red

This afternoon I needed a good friend’s internet expertise to help me connect my blog to the active reading public.  The compensation for this near-selfless act was a half-bottle of 2005 Pahlmeyer Red Wine, which I purchased solely based upon Robert Parker’s 96 point score.  The wine offers a slightly restrained nose dominated by red fruits.  On the palette, the wine offers very precise primary flavors of classic cabernet sauvignon red fruits (currant, cherry, etc.).  The texture was very elegant.  We were both quite pleased with this cellar selection.  I had to visit the wine shop later in the day for other business, so I picked up a replacement bottle while it is still available.
