February 13, 2024 - Decanted 30 min, could have used 2 hrs as it really took time to open up & come together. Rich black & blue fruit, adequate acidity & decent structure with medium finish. Probably would have held up for a second day.
October 25, 2023 - Decanted 1 hour and it still had an ethanol on the nose. I Enjoyed the bottle the second night more more. Needs time to open up.
September 21, 2023 - Lively fruit and integrated tannins. Pride characteristics. Will last another couple years
January 8, 2023 - This is in a a good drinking window. Blue and black fruits, chocolate, licorice. Moderate tannins on finish.
December 7, 2022 - Pride just not doing it for me. Not sure why. Something about the flavor profile and high tannins make this less attractive, given it’s scores.
November 23, 2022 - Exactly what I love about Pride cabs - medium bodied, a sublime nose, flavors of blackberry and plum, and a long finish. Consistently excellent. Was great with Thanksgiving Eve dinner of grilled cheese sandwiches and homemade tomato soup.
October 24, 2022 - Fruit forward Napa cab with no remarkable characteristics. Some tannins still there suggesting some more aging potential but I’m Not sure that will make much difference.
August 31, 2022 - Very good -- medium bodied for a Pride -- some oak at first that lessened in intensity as it evolved. Great fruit
July 10, 2022 - Excellent. New world. Characteristic of Napa/Sonoma cabs. In a good drinking window.
March 27, 2022 - Drank with veal flank. Wine much better than the meat. Full-bodied, heavy on the fruit, but fairly complex dense wine that lingers for over a minute.
