I am a huge Big Basin fan, and this wine doesn't really fit the portfolio. Meh. Cariignane makes for an excellent blending grape. Probably best not to leave it at that.

Wanted a 2000 Bordeaux to drink on the turn of the decade eve, so I selected this. It was really terrific even after 18 years in my cellar. A bright, tingly palette of abundant fruit. Not very weighty, but a nice balance of all the good stuff. Absolutely delicious. Very nicely done.

I have been critical of what has happened to Pride over the last 10 years. Pretty much since Foley left, I've felt the cabernet has not been up to par. But this vintage gets them back on track. This is a delicious, succulent wine and I enjoyed it very much. More like this please.
