February 28, 2024 - Well made wine given the pressures of 2020. Having said that, it does not posses the usual punch a Pride Merlot exhibits. It is appreciated when a winery doesn't bottle a certain cuvee when it isn't up to the level of quality expected. This would have been that time. But when the winery bottles it and sells it largely to club members I am saddened. I expect more from Pride than this delivers. 89+

January 14, 2024 - Exceptional Merlot, from two who do not, normally prefer this grape. Deep color, rich texture, and a taste that has a subtle but delicious ending. Will save our second bottle for a special occasion.
