Pride Mountain Vineyards Syrah (Sonoma County)
Oak, earth, pepper, coffee and jammy dark berries lead to a wine with tart flavors that show hints of green, unripe berries. Full bodied and with fruit, the tart flavors are a minor issue in the finish 3,127 Views Tasted Mar 2, 2011 |

Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
Served blind, the wine offered tell tale ripe, California Cabernet Sauvignon scents of coffee bean, vanilla, jammy boysenberries and licorice with hints of blue fruits. At first, the wine felt hot. With time in the glass, it calmed down, fleshed and became more fun to drink. 4,819 Views Tasted May 28, 2013 |

Licorice, jam, blueberry, blackberry, vanilla and coffee scents pop the moment the cork leaves the bottle, Thick, concentrated, ripe and ABVic, there is a touch of heat in the powerful, concentrated, forward styled, ABVic, fruit filled finish. This style of wine is losing popularity with some drinkers. Fans of this style are going to like it a more than I did. I get he quality, but it's not fun for me to drink. 4,776 Views Tasted May 7, 2012 |

Pride Mountain Vineyards Syrah (Sonoma County)
Coffee, licorice, blackberry jam, smoke and vanilla scents, full bodied and concentrated, this wine has not changed much since the day it was bottled. While it's well made, there is a lot of oak in this sweet, jammy, mouth filling style of wine. I liked the first glass, but we didn't finish the bottle. There is no hurry to drink this as it's not going to quickly fade away. It's a matter of style. Some people are going to like this style of Syrah a lot more than others. 2,699 Views Tasted Feb 26, 2012 |

1997
Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Napa Valley)
Still deep in color, with thyme, mushroom and dark berries in the nose. On the palate the wine offers a fat, dense texture and a finish with ripe fruit and oak, which is just a bit drying in the finish. 5,008 Views Tasted Sep 23, 2015A mountain of black and blue fruit roars from the glass. The dense, rich, concentrated wine fills your mouth with ripe chocolate covered berries. Is the wine any better with 10 of age, probably not. But with a big fat juicy steak, the wine works. 4,023 Views Tasted Oct 25, 2007 |

1996
Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Napa Valley)
1996 Pride Reserve is packed and stacked with layers of ripe cassis, espresso, and fresh picked, jammy blackberries. This full bodied wine offers an intensity of flavor that does not overwhelm the senses. Balanced and in harmony, this is a solid example of a great California Cabernet that is drinking at its peak. Having tasted this wine young, while its calmed down since it was released, it has not gained much in complexty. There is no reason to hold off from popping a bottle. 3,903 Views Tasted Dec 7, 2010 |
