Winemaker Notes

Black currant, Morello cherry, and just-ripe black mission fig dance with the aromas of sage, candied violets, star anise, and black truffle. The palate is dense and compact with incredible structure. Layers of complex black and red fruit fill the mouth, while sandalwood, bay, graphite, and forest aromatics linger with the velvety tannins on the long and dynamic finish. This is a showstopper!
Blend: 70% Napa, 30% Sonoma

    COMMENTARY: The 2018 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon offers excellent power and length on the palate. TASTING NOTES: This wine shines with bold black fruit and oak in its aromas and flavors. Pair it with grilled beef and a side plate of Roquefort cheese. (Tasted: June 22, 2021, San Francisco, CA)

    6% Petit Verdot; 5% Merlot. Ripe and somewhat flashy at first glance, this wine starts off as the drink-me-now sibling among the Pride offerings, but its palatal tannins tell a different story. It is full-bodied and invitingly rich on the palate with the expected notes of currant and toasty oak in good form. And there will be those who will find it a good mate to rich beef roasts even now. For our part, we would prefer it in a more polished state and are content to let it age in the cellar for three to six years at a minimum. And, frankly, it could well gain in smoothness for a good many years after that.

    Looking at the base Cabernet, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon comes 70% from Napa and 30% from Sonoma. A wonderful nose of blackcurrants, black cherries, bouquet garni, baking spices, and dried tobacco gives way to a medium-bodied, elegant, beautifully balanced Cabernet that's very much in the balanced, fresh, classical style of the vintage. It's ideal for drinking over the coming 10-12 years, and it will probably last even longer.

A noble variety bestowed with both power and concentration, Cabernet Sauvignon enjoys success all over the globe, its best examples showing potential to age beautifully for decades. Cabernet Sauvignon flourishes in Bordeaux's Medoc where it is often blended with Merlot and smaller amounts of some combination of Cabernet Franc, Malbecand Petit Verdot. In the Napa Valley, ‘Cab’ is responsible for some of the world’s most prestigious, age-worthy and sought-after “cult” wines. Somm Secret—DNA profiling in 1997 revealed that Cabernet Sauvignon was born from a spontaneous crossing of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc in 17th century southwest France.

Reaching up California's coastline and into its valleys north of San Francisco, the North Coast AVA includes six counties: Marin, Solano, Napa, Sonoma, Mendocino and Lake. While Napa and Sonoma enjoy most of the glory, the rest produce no shortage of quality wines in an intriguing and diverse range of styles.

Climbing up the state's rugged coastline, the chilly Marin County, just above the City and most of Sonoma County, as well as Mendocino County on the far north end of the North Coast successfully grow cool-climate varieties like Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and in some spots, Riesling. Inland Lake County, on the other hand, is considerably warmer, and Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel and Sauvignon Blanc produce some impressive wines with affordable price tags.
