Pride Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon 2016 - First Bottle

Reviews

94 Jeb Dunnuck -
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is a beauty and is certainly worth seeking out. Deep black fruits, smoke tobacco, scorched earth and graphite notes all emerge from the glass. It's medium to full-bodied, has terrific purity of fruit, sweet tannins, and the balance to evolve for 15 years or so.
93 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate -
The 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon is made up of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot, and 76% of the fruit came from Napa County and 24% from Sonoma County. Medium to deep garnet-purple colored, it rolls sensuously out of the glass with provocative notes of warm cassis, blackberry pie and preserved plums plus suggestions of cigar box, dried lavender, menthol and melted chocolate. Medium-bodied, the palate has wonderful energy and freshness, featuring plenty of perfumed black fruit and a firm, ripe, grainy frame, finishing with a minty kick. 6,035 cases produced.

I recently opened an old favorite of mine -- 1997 Pride Claret. It was a showstopper. Older Pride wines NEVER disappoint, and they are pretty screaming relative bargains in this $150+ Cabernet world. With that -- our HIGHEST recommendation for the ‘16 Cab -- performing WAY, WAY above the ticket price. This Cab is scored low for me -- I’d be more of a 95-point guy on this one if I did that, which I emphatically do not. But…

As you know, Pride is uniquely located on the Sonoma/Napa county line, at the top of Spring Mountain (it’s a GREAT place to visit, I might add), with excellent exposure and high elevation. Winemaker Sally Johnson just nails it, vintage after vintage. The Cabernet ROCKS out of the glass with powerful black fruits, cigar box, torrefaction and succulent texture. Awesome. Will age for 2 decades. So much to love!

MIX and MATCH as you like -- as always, free shipping on 6+ bottles always! Not too much to go around --- as we say, dollar for dollar, these are amazing wines!
