2007 was terrific on Pritchard Hill and this is a great example. Black currant dominates the front end and the tannins are still massive through a 20 second finish. Best of all Spago is open for grab&go so if you live in LA support one of the great restaurants - spectacular 4 course for $59 (++)! Plus they gave us an additional pizza. That’s what I call quarantine! Stay safe all

Massive Cabernet that is fantastic dark fruit and tannins after a decade are still very present!!! If you like Pritchard Hill - you should try this next door neighbor of Colgin. The only issue - this is $500 less a bottle! I don’t hate my $ so I’m in.

I am really digging this Pritchard juice!!
Deep dark and luscious . It was a recommendation from Acme Wines and it lived up to the hype! I would definitely recommend.

Ready to go from the start. Great with steaks and nice cap to a great weekend of 🏀. Nice to see Michigan and Wisconsin make it to the Sweet 16. I'd give that a Big 🔟

This is elegant and smooth from start to finish. This 2007 bottle is drinking absolutely perfect right now. If you have any, drink now and you won’t be disappointed. It’s subtle dark fruit and lingering finish is an example of a beautiful bottle from Pritchard Hill. Enjoy!
