The Domain: Pahlmeyer — founded in 1986 by Jayson Pahlmeyer with the ambition of creating a California Mouton. Sourcing high-elevation mountain fruit from four key sites — Pahlmeyer Estate, Stagecoach, Rancho Chimiles, and Antica (all on Atlas Peak or Pritchard Hill) — the estate benefits from more sunlight, cooler temperatures, and less fertile soils for ideal concentration. Today one of Napa Valley's most acclaimed producers.
