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.

This was awesome! Light gold color. Great balance between acidity and butter/cream. Had a nice nuttiness in addition to the fruit. Medium plus depth. Buying more!

Sep 17th, 2022Looked and smelled amazing! Thought this was a high end white burg. Nice flavors of lemon, butter, and melons; but very restrained. Medium plus depth, but tight. Medium minus finish. Started out 98+ and ended at 93.

Feb 14th, 2022I really enjoyed this! If I was having blind I would have guessed White Burgundy due to the nuttiness and thickness. Exceeded expectations! I was going to add this to my regular buy list as I love Pride wines, but as it turns out I already own some! Happy accident!

Pride 2016 Chardonnay - a very good Chardonnay but a little sweet.
