Description

95/100: Paloma's 2001 Merlot is still the best Merlot I’ve tasted from California. Named our Wine of the Year in 2003, this remains a wonderfully delicious piece of work—ripe, rich, layered, complex and impeccably balanced. A friend uncorked a bottle for lunch the other day, which we enjoyed along with a duck confit salad, and it is still showing beautifully.

What’s remarkable about this vineyard in Napa Valley's Spring Mountain District is that it also made great Cabernet and Syrah. When a vineyard can produce two or three noble wines, that validates its greatness and versatility. The owners, the Richards family, dropped those two wines to focus on Merlot, and I have mixed emotions about that.

As it stands, Paloma remains the greatest Merlot vineyard in California. James Laube
