Drank with friends for NYE 2014. Amazing wine! Decanted for 6 six hours and opened up pretty well. I have one other bottle of the '97 and will be planning a vertical tasting with the other bottle. Enjoy!

Amazing as usual! Just opened the bottle without a decant. I am planning on decanting the other bottles down the road but am feeling a bit lazy tonight. I bought a case of this from Rafanelli and will be storing a few of these for a couple years. Love this wine!

I thought this wine was OK for the price. Or maybe I just thought it was good because I have not really been popping a lot of corks the last couple of months.

Drank during the blizzard of 2013 out East. I was in a hotel room and had to drink out of a paper cup but it was still yummy as usual. Good wine for the price I think. Very fruit forward and jammy.

Great wine for the price! Very smooth and well balanced. If you like your wine thick and heavy you will love this.

Amazing wine as usual. Brought this bottle to a restaurant and shared with friends. Everyone loved it. Very rich, silky, and great finish.

Great as usual. By far one of my favorite red zin makers. I think it might be getting a bit old so drink up. I feel like this did not have as much spice as the 2010 does but still very good.

Opened this bottle for my 33rd birthday. Really enjoyed it overall. I think its getting close to its end so open now. Great smell with lots of berries. Decanted for about 2hours. Cork broke on me so be careful.

Drank for New Years 2013. Was not really that great but I'm not a huge Champagne guy. It was really dry.

I did like this wine overall for the $18.00 value. I much more of a cali cab kind of person but thought I would give this a try. It tasted more like a red Zin to me. Lots of spice which I thought was weird for a Cabernet but I like a good Zin. If you don't like spice you will not like this wine. Overall I taste earthy, spice, leather, smoke, and oak. Short finish.

This wine taste really weird to me. It has a very weird taste at the beginning. The end is a bit better. You can taste the French oak which is kind of nice. I think I will stick with my Cali Cabs. They are hard to beat in my opinion. I would not buy this wine again.

Really great wine and a lot of spice. Enjoyed with Indian food. It was a spicy night. I decanted for about 30mins. The first glass was OK then it started to open up and got much better. I have a couple more bottles from this vintage so I'm going to let them rest for a couple of years.

Really amazing wine! The guy at the wine shop suggested it and I was very happy with it from the first sip to the last. I want to get some more of this and let it rest for a few years.

Not a fan of this wine. It had a weird taste to it. I would not buy this wine again.

It was OK. I wanted to try this because I'm just starting my collection and Pride does a really great Merlot. I think I am done with Merlot and will stick with Cabs and Bordeaux's for my collection moving forward. Pride Cabernet is much better than their Merlot in my opinion which is not much. Much love Pride.

This wine has some really great spice to it! Decanted before drinking. The taste is kind of short for me. Its almost a quick bite and then slowly goes back. Overall a good choice I think. Going to enjoy it with some Indian food. I'm guess I'm in a spicy mood tonight!

I'm new to Bordeaux and am really starting to enjoy them. This is a good medium price wine. I think its a bit young yet but I was up for exploring and wanted to get a feel for what I would like to start collecting. Bordeaux are officially on my list.

I got this bottle from a wine friend. It was tasty and a great gift. I have a bottle of the 2008 reserve that I am going to let sleep for 10 plus years.

Great as always! I have five bottles left and will let them rest for a few years. 94 points from my tasting level.
