  Popped Poured... dark mountain fruits, long finish... was having a fire outside amongst friends and other bottles, so no detailed notes. Overall, it was drinking in its prime and I wish I had more to sit and study it.

  Beautiful mountain fruit from Spring Mountain this winery actually follows the divide between Napa and Sonoma.

  It Peaking! (that's what she said)
  Drink em if you got em. Plum, blackberry, blueberry, cinnamon, tannins still there but the velvet texture is softening. Went well with Round Table Pizza.

  This one is much better than expected. Dark purple on the open and pour starting to turn brick. Black and red cherry, slight jammy on the nose but not the palate. As others have described, long spicy (black pepper) finish. The balance of this wine is excellent. Tannins and structure still there, very well balanced by the fruit/spice flavors. Properly cellared this may have a few more years of value left - but drink now to make sure you do not miss the window. I love Pride wines - and their Merlot is top notch.

  - Brick color with medium forming legs and aromas of smokey, tobacco and tea and has flavours of black pepper and cherry - Decanted two hours. Tons of sediment. Long spicy finish.
