Napa County Cabernet Sauvignon

Super sexy Cali cab. Lush and balanced.

Thank you, Ellen Cahn and Steve Woodnick!

2012 vintage. Very big and rich lots of body maybe too much. Over the top?

Absolute fabulous taste! Smooth, fruit forward, not too dry. Vintage 2012

Fruity nose nice smooth had a touch of acidity. Lovely with steak

It was big, rich, and full of fruit, but oh so enjoyable. A hedonistic treat and a great accompaniment for a ribeye steak.

When a first ever glass of Pride, young, yet from an outstanding vintage, is offered, the anticipation surpasses one usually garnered only during the unwrapping of a babybel Gouda!
It did not disappoint. A finish of everlasting gobstopper proportions, a flavor delicate as the waft of a warm blanket being tossed over you on a cold bed. Silky tannins caress your tongue and gently stroke your palate, sending positive adjectives to your brain, culminating in a smile of cartoon-like extremes. Bliss. I came, I tasted, I conquered, I came.

This is a winner. Campfire, black fruits, barrel toast, and menthol stand out on the complex nose. The palate is purple velvet; deep, dark berry flavors, cassis, savory herbs, and minerals spread out over a broad shouldered frame. The Spring Mountain fruit really stands out. A lengthy finish shows lingering fruit and more savory smoke. Kept me going back for more and more.

A little too big and rich for me. Good, but not great.

Decanted for 5 hours before enjoying with a great steak...great wine!
