Tasting notes

Reviewed by: Robert M. Parker, Jr.
Rather thin, ungenerous, and too vegetal and herbaceous, the 1977 Palmer is medium bodied, somewhat fruity, lightly tannic, and shows no harsh or bitter qualities. Anticipated maturity: Now-probably in serious decline. Last tasted, 4/81.

About the Producer
The fine seaside climate and soils of Long Island’s North Fork provide exceptional conditions for the making of world-class varietal wines. With 110 acres planted with Merlot, Chardonnay, Pinot Blanc, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc to supply the winery’s 20,000 annual case production, Palmer strives to preserve and enhance the purity of flavor and distinctive, fresh character which makes this region’s wines so unique. The state- of-the art winery contains the most modern winemaking equipment available today, and also includes substantial new French oak cooperage, purchased each year, for both barrel fermentation of our Chardonnay and the aging of our premium red varietals.
