Background
What makes Pride Mountain Vineyards' wines and winery distinct is the location of our eighty-five vineyard acres that are draped across the gentle rolling crest of the Mayacamas Mountains some 2000 feet above the floor of the Napa Valley.
VIines receive roughly 27% more ultraviolet light compared to vines in level vineyards on the surrounding valley floors. Having more light on the grapes results in tannin and phenolic anti-oxidant levels in our red grapes that are measured to be roughly 25% higher than red grapes in the surrounding valleys; this is the main contributor to the broad-shouldered “mountain character” Pride Mountain's red wines possess.
Tasting Notes
Classic mountain cab, this wine expresses cassis, chocolate, black cherry, mint, coffee and black tea notes. The palate is lush and uber-concentrated, with just enough acidity to add a liveliness to the texture and plenty of supple tannin for both a long smooth finish and long-term aging potential.
