2007 Pride Merlot Napa / Sonoma
94pts(WS) Lush and rich yet impeccably structured, with bold red currant and toasty mocha aromas and layered flavors of ripe plum, loamy earth and spice, finishing with big but ripe tannins. Drink now through 2015. Wine Spectator InsiderVol 6 No 12 March 24, 2010.—Tim.Fish .
92pts(WA) The 2007 Merlot, which comes from both Napa and Sonoma fruit (the Pride
Mountain vineyards are split by the county line), exhibits a dense
purple color as well as abundant chocolate and berry fruit notes, medium
to full body, and great freshness, length, and depth. It is a heady,
succulent style of Merlot to drink over the next 7-10 years. Robert Parker The Wine Advocate, December 2009, Issue 186
WInery Notes: Our 2007 Merlot is a multi-layered, expressive wine. The base blend is
composed of wines from 11 distinctive vineyard blocks across our
mountaintop estate. Texture has been polished by blending with 6%
Cabernet Sauvignon from our intensely structured Rock Arch vineyard
block. The wine opens with a big, perfumey nose featuring red
raspberry, plum preserves, black and maraschino cherries and brown
sugar. The palate is soft, luscious and silky, with intense flavors
that coat the mouth. With sustained presence, fruit and spice flavors
are revealed in bursts and waves. The structure is typical of our
mountaintop Merlot – tannins are firm, but have been ripened to the
point of being round rather than aggressive, a wine that leaves the
taste buds longing for a second sip. This is a California Wine.
