Challenging Terroir,
Meticulous Fieldwork

High-elevation blocks are hand-harvested at their most expressive moment. We farm responsively, vine-by-vine, ensuring an optimal balance of broad structure and phenolic ripeness.

Precision Winemaking, 

The Pursuit of Perfection

Only the finest fruit becomes Pahlmeyer.

Fierce selectivity and gentle vinification allow us to capture each vineyard’s purest, most eloquent expression.

Pahlmeyer wines demand attention. They are truly inspired, showcasing the consideration and thought behind every choice and every detail.

Over 35 Years of Pahlmeyer:
From Aspiration to Icon

It started as a daring dream and has become a Napa Valley legacy.

“All I wanted to do was to create my own ‘California Mouton’ — a rich, powerful Napa Valley Bordeaux blend, a wine that would drop wine lovers to their knees,” Jayson Pahlmeyer explains.
