This is a delicious Chardonnay from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced and complex. Elegant and robust at the same time.

A good quality wine that will continue to age nicely in the next 5 to 7 years. Showing potential to become a 94+ point wine.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

14% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$50.

Way beyond what I expected for a 2011. After 11 years this beauty is fully resolved, velvety and absolutely delicious. Purchased on release, I’m sure glad I waited this long. It’s in its perfect drinking window. Rk

Not the style I usually go for, but I dig this

After first opening this one it tasted like blood, pennies and iron...but shortly after it turned into exactly what I was hoping: it was beaming w pride

First winery on day three traveling from Sonoma to Napa Valley was Pride Mountain Vineyards with Paul. First wine was the Carneros Chardonnay. This bottling is made up of 100% Chardonnay from three vineyards within the Carneros region of Napa Valley. Aged for a total of eight months in 25% new French oak, of which seven months are on the lees. Only 1,900 cases produced.

Medium lemon yellow in appearance. Fruity nose with white apricot, kiwi, green apples, a touch of butter and some gravel. Medium acidity (6.5/10) and medium bodied. Tons of spices and baked apples on the palate followed by a touch of zestiness and gravel. Long finish. Drink till 2023.

$$ - Tasted at the winery. Retail price is $42.00.

Well centered, balanced Chardonnay. Medium oak and good acidity.

Really solid. Great balance across the wine. Stone fruits, Asian pears and caramel undertones from perfect oak use.

Nice tropical, mild citrus. Oak is apparent.

Drink now.

Yes!
