Well made wine. Showing a hint of brick around the rim. Some stone and cedar in there. Medium-light weight. Round but not flabby with secondary notes present. It' good, don't think it's improving. This fits in my "if you've got it, drink it" category.

Very nice wine. Double decant for an hour. Deep, viscous purple. Crushed stone and dark berried fruit it was well balanced with fine grain tannin. Lush and ready it has time ahead of it. Cool concept - enjoy.

Ahh, the Pride Mountain. All of my friends think that, as a massive wine fan, I'm all about elegance, finesse and etherealness but I really like some of those roided, sunshine in a glass, oaked beasts - it's the same with those early noughties Australian Barossa and Clare Valley Shiraz. Wine snobs would frown at my active enjoyment hence I feel a little like a chef eating junk food...cheers, chatters

I've worked in technology down in Austin for 30+ years, and developed an interest in wine when I realized my customers knew more about what to order at dinner than I did! I started reading, and reading and reading, after which I started going to local wine events, and then finally, the trips to Napa, Sonoma, etc. It's become a bit of an obsession; my adult son's childhood bedroom has become a wine cellar with a number of Eurocave and other storage units, and many boxes stacked around the room. It's always nice to converse with those in the trade as my sense s that people love to drink wine, but really don't know much about it. Anyway, I look forward to seeing some of your notes and watching what you like and find interesting!
