This is a fabulous set of wines from Pahlmeyer. Jayson Pahlmeyer's daughter, Cleo, is now running the show. The 2012s are the first wines Kale Anderson made from start to finish here, and they are superb. As is the case throughout the valley, the 2012s are plump and fruit-driven in style, while the 2013s show a little more acidity along with darker tonalities of fruit. All of these wines are made in a rich, extracted style that typically requires a bit of bottle age for best results.

For the first time since the very beginning, Pahlmeyer has moved into their own winemaking facility, one of many developments taking place under the leadership of Cleo Pahlmeyer and winemaker Kale Anderson, who took over from Erin Green in 2012. Perhaps even more importantly, farming is now also done in house. Both of these changes represent serious commitment to the future, which is very exciting to see. As for the wines, this set of new and upcoming releases is all about polish. It is going to be very interesting to see how things develop over the next few years, but so far it looks like Pahlmeyer is making the transition into its second generation pretty seamlessly, and that is no small feat. I will report on Pahlmeyer's Sonoma wines, now being made by Bibiana Gonzalez-Rave, in a future article. Readers who want to learn more about recent developments at Pahlmeyer might enjoy this short video shot during the 2013 harvest.
