Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Claret 2013, Sonoma County, California
It is time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday.
This is a delicious Merlot based Bordeaux blend from from Sonoma County.
Full bodied with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with blackberries, chocolates, black currants, black plums, black cherries, cedar, vanilla, light earth, licorice and light coffee.
Long finish with medium tannins.
This 10-year-old is drinking very nicely now, and it will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Would be nice to visit it again in 5 years.
Showing nice complexity with a great mouthfeel. Elegant and rich. Powerful and fruit forward.
Drinking very much like a Napa Cabernet.
Good right out of the bottle and better with airtime. Good by itself or with food.
A blend of 62% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot. 14% of the grapes are from Napa Valley. Aged in French oak barrels for 22 months. A small production of only 450 cases.
14.8% alcohol by volume.
93 points.

Classic stuff, probably been brewing this same recipe for centuries. Smells & tastes like it would be heavy, but it goes down easy and is surprisingly light on its feet. Lightly malty, no frills old school Ale — 3 months ago

On the nose feels very floral, a bit spicy. Might’ve pegged as some sort of Syrah but on the mouth much more classic cab but not overly juicy. Very pure and direct. 2017 vintage drunk in April 2024. — 9 days ago
