Item Description
Set in the Heart of California’s Napa Valley, Paloma is a family-owned and operated vineyard and winery producing some of the region’s most highly rated Merlots for almost forty years. Paloma Vineyard was honored as the Wine Spectator’s TOP PICK for its 2001 vintage of Merlot, out of over 15,000 wines tasted globally. Their wines have been included in the Spectator’s TOP 100 list several times since.
Founded in 1983 by Barbara and Jim Richards, the winery is now run by their son, Sheldon Richards. The Paloma family, now with its third generation working in the business, is involved in all aspects of the business—farming, winemaking, tastings, marketing and sales.
This six-year vertical of 2011 through 2016 Paloma Merlots displays the quality of Paloma wines, the complexity of Spring Mountain terroir, and demonstrates true vintage variation thanks, in part, to Mother Nature.
These six vintages all enjoyed diverse growing seasons, with the ’11 through the ‘15 battling a six-year drought. The ‘15 was also effected by rain and difficult spring flowering, producing just 565 cases—the winery’s lowest production ever, but a stunning wine! The 2013 received outstanding reviews by Robert Parker–93 points.
This package also includes a two-hour private tasting of all six wines for the bidder and 7 guests. You will take home your vertical of wines after your tasting!
