Pahlmeyer started over 20 years ago when former trial attorney Jayson Pahlmeyer decided to turn his passion for wine into a winemaking career in California's Napa Valley. After studying viticulture and oenology at the University of Bordeaux in France, Pahlmeyer brought the red clones to the United States and produced his first Bordeaux blend in 1986, the Pahlmeyer Red Table Wine. Grapes for Pahlmeyer's Red Wines come from Olive Hill in Wooden Valley and York Creek Vineyard on Spring Mountain. Merlot grapes are grown in three distinct appellations in Napa Valley including Carneros, Howell Mountain, and the St. Helena region. Pahlmeyer and his current winemaker, Erin Green, have turned the vineyard into one of the finest producers of Bordeaux-style reds, Merlot, and Chardonnay around. New releases from Pahlmeyer include the first-ever Pinot Noirs from Pahlmeyer and second-label, Jayson, sourced from the Sonoma Coast AVA.
