Pride Mountain Claret Reserve 2004 1.5L
The Winery
Pride Mountain
Nestled in the Mayacamas Mountains between St. Helena and Santa Rosa, the picturesque 235 acre estate of Pride Mountain Vineyards produces unique wines in contrast to those made in the neighboring valleys. The vineyards are set above the fog line, which enables the grapes to be exposed to California's hot sun from dawn to dusk. As a result, the flavors of these wines tend to be rich with ripe black fruits, "balance, nuance, and complexity." They are made to be approachable at a young age with the capability to age beneficially for 10-15 years. Cheers to Pride Mountain wines!
Summary
The 2004 Pride Mountain Claret Reserve is a refined Bordeaux-style blend, primarily composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, showcasing the dual heritage of Napa and Sonoma fruit. This medium to full-bodied wine exhibits rich aromas of black raspberry, mocha, and coffee, complemented by hints of dried berries and herbal notes. Its dense, plum-colored profile reveals a smooth, silken texture with a firm mineral backbone and vibrant acidity. The wine's complexity is enhanced by a touch of oak spice and a slightly sweet finish, making it enjoyable now while also promising great aging potential. This limited 1.5L magnum format adds to its collectability. (89% Sonoma, 11% Napa)
