2021 vintage. Perhaps the most polished Pride Mountain red I've ever had. Missed the chunky rusticity. Had this been blind tasted, never ever woulda guessed Pride Mountain. All that said, the juice is drinking closer to a Shafer style. Slightly feminine and easily navigated tannins. 8.28.24 — a month ago

The surprise of the night. An over performer. Dranks with a full body. Tastes of a more expensive wine. — 14 days ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over three days. Better on Day 2 and Day 3. The 2021 pours a deep ruby with near opaque core; medium+ viscosity with moderate staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of red brambles, green bell pepper, tobacco, purple flowers, dry gravely earth, soft baking spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and satisfying. I don’t drink Pride very often but there is a lot to like. Super consistent. Drink now with some patience but better after 2026 and through 2041 — 5 months ago
