Medium-dark red-purple color, beautiful redfruit aromas and flavors, with medium-toast oak showing as a seasoning the background, pretty sound structure and backbone, solid acidity, long, lingering finish, excellent California mountain Merlot (w/25% Cabernet Sauvignon). The sheer quality and complexity of this bottle is a wonderful tribute to the vision of Barbara and Jim Richards, who I am certain would be very proud, with Paloma now being ably run by their son Sheldon and his family. — 6 months ago

Same name but now a rosè of Grenache.
Crunchy, tart, refreshing, highly drinkable, almost effervescent. It reminds me of a paloma - enough tequila to keep it interesting, grapefruit juice and squirt to keep me asking for more — 2 years ago

Really enjoyed it on the rocks. Also recommended by friend to mix one part vodka with two parts silver tequila, grapefruit juice and club soda over ice for a refreshing take on a Paloma! — 7 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of dinner at Paloma in the 20th Arr. The 2022 “Gibraltar” pours a ruby color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of fresh raspberry, red flowers, underbrush, and stony minerals. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Fresh as a daisy, this was a charming, no fuss, biodynamic Grenache from Roussillon. Drink now through 2032. — 7 months ago

Crunchy and tasty and refreshing and all the things you would want on a summer Saturday in Sonoma.
It's a Paloma of wines - grapefruit and squirt with a touch of effervescence (served from C02 kegs) but enough tequila to keep it interesting — 2 years ago

Pale blush. Paloma on the nose. Hints of strawberries and honeysuckle with crisp, pleasant, key lime zest finish. ( smoked pork chops, local asparagus, sautéed mushrooms. The first rose’ on the lanai this season - Memorial Day weekend) — 3 years ago

It reminds me of cream soda for some reason but in a good and grapefruity way. Don’t mind if I do. — 6 years ago

Lovely older Syrah fruit, plums mostly, also some pine notes, first commercial vintage of the Paloma Syrah (and only one labeled Milagro, a legal issue), medium-long finish, neutral oak, love it!! A tribute to the greatness of Barbara and Jim Richards!! — 8 years ago

2022 vintage. A very impressive effort from La Fleur Morange ( Saint- Émilion grand cru classé) owner, Jean-François Julien. — 9 months ago

Beautiful Syrah from Spring Mountain, savoury aromas and flavors, very French-like if served blind, still has lots of primary redfruits showing, tannins have largely receded, from a partially-shaded 5-acre portion at the bottom of the Paloma vineyard, long finish, I believe the Syrah vines were planted in 1992 and pulled out after the 2001/2002(?) vintage, Barbara and Jim Richards said the farming was more difficult than the Merlot (and smaller amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon) that Paloma is known for and thus they elected to replant (graft? Not sure) more of the other varieties into that plot. While the first vintage of the Syrah (1995) was never commercially released (12 cases produced from 3 year old vines), Jim was kind enough to send me home with 4 bottles, that wine was the best Syrah to EVER come off that vineyard, I was forever in his debt, it was AMAZING. I miss Barbara and Jim, some of the nicest people I’ve ever met in the wine business (I’m NOT in the business myself)!! — 10 months ago
