I like pride but wasn't feeling this last night but it was just my palate. It is a well made wine.

Still holding up well and developing some interesting tertiary notes, but a little too heavy on the butter.

Once again another home run for Pride. Amazing balance. The wine offered everything a chard should.

Big, round, and full in the mouth with tropical fruit, white flowers, and a bit of brioche. Oakier than I recall previous vintages. Classic California Chardonnay.

This is enjoyable with each opening. A great start to a meal of seafood. Great hints of floral without going too far.
