New feature, check in Mondays where we will be featuring what we think our best deal of the previous week was.
2007 Pahlmeyer Chardonnay – 95 points R.P. Regular price $64.99 Deal price… $49.99
Here is another excellent deal on a beautifully made Chardonnay, a perfect thirst quencher for the summer months ahead. Pahlmeyer has been knocking it out of the park with the quality of the wines and it’s reflected with outstanding reviews across the board year in year out. The fruit comes from Richie vineyard, where the famed (and twice as expensive) Aubert Chardonnay is made. Compare this price and point score and you have a very good buy.
Here is what Parker’s wine advocate had to say:
“For starters, the 2007 Chardonnay Sonoma Coast may be one of Pahlmeyer’s finest Chardonnays to date (it’s coming right on the heels of their two brilliant 2006 Chardonnays). Most of the fruit comes from the Ritchie Vineyard, a site from which Mark Aubert also produces incredible wines. This 1,600-case cuvee is fashioned from the old Wente and Mt. Eden clones. Like the finest California Chardonnays, it reveals a light greenish hue to its straw color in addition to a beautiful perfume of nectarines, brioche, subtle smoke, crushed rocks, and gobs of white peach and pineapple fruit. This full-bodied beauty should drink easily for 5-6 years. Things just seem to get better and better at Pahlmeyer, a long-standing, brilliant, remarkably consistent source for one of Napa’s finest Merlots, Chardonnays, and Pinot Noirs.”
