Pecota's flagship wine is the estate produced Kara's Vineyard Cab with big fruit, firm tannins and a delicious long finish. Not to be missed is Pecota's Syrah and the Asti D'Andrea Muscat, named for Pecota's other daughter, Andrea who also plays a significant role in the family business. The wine we tasted was the 1994 Le Puzzle Cabernet Sauvignon, which was absolutely delicious, an elegant and smooth wine with deep berry flavors and a firm tannic structure for aging. The Puzzle Cab is named after the vineyards, which appear to look like a jigsaw puzzle piece when viewed from the mountaintop vineyard. A must see and taste for the true wine lover.
New ton is also famous for their Merlots.
Pahlmeyer is best known for the Pahlmeyer red. A Bordeaux-styled blend of distinctive character and pure elegance. The 1997 Merlot is outstanding, deep and full of complex flavors. The Chardonnay is also a consistently fine wine. If you would like to taste these fine wines visit the Napa Wine Company in Oakville.
