@pridewines @pridemtnsally much fresher than expectations. very grippy tannins still exist almost making the wine off balance. will be interesting to try another one in 5yrs #mountainwine #1997vintage

Ok I’m prejudice for Pride wines and Claret! I drank the new 2019! I’m 75 so not aging long! Surprisingly fruit forward. Took over an Hour to open up. Simply delicious with layers of fruit, earth , vanilla and sweet tannins.

This claret is delicious. Chewy. Dark earth. Layers of flavor and finish . I wonder if age will help. This wine is great right now . Worth the price

Simply delicious. Wonderful cab aroma. I prefer claret . This is a gem. Lingering dark fruit, well balanced . I’m not sharing!

Pride nose is Carmel. Dark. A little bit of tobacco, baking spice. Taste is fruity than the lakoya. Finish isn’t quite there. 9.1

90/10 Sonoma/Napa. 70/30 Merlot/Cab. Nice complexity- tart black fruit, camphor, cassis, varnish, coffee, and camphor. Long bitter finish. First Pride Reserve wine- different and interesting.

I love this Claret...I love just saying “Claret”. Rich, profuse, dark red cherry and plum, tobacco, wet stone. Super long finish (15.2%).
