Pahlmeyer Red 2013
Raison d'etre
owc
Bottle (6)

Wines from the distinguished cellar of a New England gentleman. All wines acquired exclusively on release or as futures and stored in elite-grade professional storage.

"Nearly its match is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Raison d’Etre, a blend of 100% estate fruit consisting of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot. There is more of this to go around the country – 200 cases. There is not much difference in power, massive extract, richness, length and profound aromatics and flavors, as this is just a prodigious wine. Perhaps the dosage of Merlot gives this more chocolate and espresso than the Pièce De Résistance, but it is a stunningly big, thick, juicy wine that somehow maintains balance and delineation. Drink it over the next 35+ years." (99 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Dec. 2016)
