Products

• 2013 Paloma Merlot93 points. This wine exhibits plenty of plum, black cherry and blackcurrant fruit, mocha, and coffee bean in a lush, delicious and opulently textured style. It is drinking beautifully already and will continue to evolve for another decade or more. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate.
• 2014 Paloma MerlotA big, world-class red wine capable of improving with bottle aging for 10 to 15 years. Complex aromas of blackberry fruits, black stone fruits, chocolate, tobacco, spice, and floral notes with a mineral overtone. On the palate, the wine has a big silky mouthfeel, well balanced, with flavors of berries, fruit cocoa, cassis, and spice, and a long spicy finish. Brix26 Vendor.
• 2019 Paloma Merlot95 points. This is a very dense, compact wine with amazingly concentrated, complex fruit interwoven with firm tannins that will allow it to age for well over a decade. As great as this wine is now, it will only improve over the next several years. I've enjoyed this wine over the decades, and this is the best vintage I can ever remember tasting. Kevin M. Vogt, Master Sommelier. Also, 92 points. Supple and generous, yet handsomely structured, with detailed red currant and cherry flavors highlighted by toasty spices and savory anise as this builds tension toward polished tannins. Tim Fish, Wine Spectator. With its amazing aromatic depth and chiseled focus, this bottling joins 2001, 2007 and 2012 in the pantheon of truly great Paloma Merlots. If five to twelve years from its full maturity, [the 2019] is a fascinating beauty already. Don Gillette, Napa Valley Winery Exchange.
• 2017 Cabernet SauvignonOpen and aromatic, with a plume of applewood, dried anise and sassafras notes leading the way for silky and fresh blackberry and boysenberry coulis flavors that carry through the fresh finish. Approachable now too. Drink now through 2032. 237 cases made. James Molesworth, Wine Spectator.
• Paloma MerlotA blend of estate grapes: Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon (14 to 16 percent depending on the vintage). The resulting wine is a big, world-class red capable of improving with bottle aging for at least 20 years in most vintages. Characteristics vary with each vintage but have a consistent thread of complex aromas of blackberry fruits, black stone fruits, chocolate, tobacco, spice, and floral notes with a mineral overtone. On the palate, the wine has a silky mouthfeel, is well balanced with flavors of berries, fruit, cocoa, cassis, and spice, and enjoys a long spicy finish. The addition of the Cabernet Sauvignon adds structure, rich fruit, and a subtle increase in tannins.
• Paloma Cabernet SauvignonPure Cabernet Sauvignon, aged in French oak barrels (a third new). Vintages exhibit a deep, intensely concentrated style red packed with layers of opulence. Delivers a complex mix of zesty, vibrant wild berry, raspberry, currant, and blackberry fruit in a firm, seamless way. Full-bodied and improving with every sip, they end with a complex mix of espresso and wild berry.
• Ode to Barbara CuvéeA plush and polished blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, a tribute to the late co-founder Barbara Richards.
