PAHLMEYER, NAPA VALLEY, MERLOT 1994 Pennsylvania Gains flesh and weight withbase of neck or better; one lightly scuffed label 95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The just released 1994 Merlot is a terrific example of this varietal, and one of the finest I have ever tasted from California. The wine reveals a dense purple color, followed by a super fragrant nose of chocolate, mocha, toast, and black cherry fruit. Full bodied, but not heavy, this expansive, chewy, opulently textured wine should drink well for 15 or more
