First winery on day three traveling from Sonoma to Napa Valley was Pride Mountain Vineyards with Paul. First red wine is Merlot with fruit coming from both Sonoma (23%) and Napa (77%) Counties. This bottling is made up of 87.9% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 0.1% Petit Verdot. Aged separately for fourteen months in 40% new French oak barrels. 4,752 cases produced.
Deep ruby red with a bit of garnet and purple. Thick and aged dark nose with notes of red plums, anise, ground cinnamon, dark stewed red berries and bramble berries. Dry palate with medium plus tannins (7/10) and medium plus to full body. Dark gravel and dark bitter coca on the attack with some dark plus, cassis, black cherries and savory spices. Long and lingering finish. Drink till 2027.

Hand picked in Lyon, the label lured me into thinking that something magical awaited, a bit disappointed when opened. Plenty of fresh, vibrant fruit, but felt over oaked and missing the finesse of other Beaujolais I’ve had from the region. — 9 years ago

Tart Dark Fruit, Smokey, Salty, Damp Earth, just the right touch of Barnyard, Herbal-Sage, Thyme, Tomato Leaf... Very well balanced. Masculine, but with a touch of femininity... (Like a well-groomed Man!) Held up beautifully the 2nd day too👍👍👍👏👏👏 #DomaineDeSaintPierre #Cornas #2009 #PaulJabouletAine — 11 years ago

Rose and honeysuckle on the nose. Incredibly delicate tasting. Apple and hints of vanilla and sugar plums. Not overly sweet or fizzy. Big fan. — 8 years ago

Nice deep flavor. Has a long finish but not too heavy on the end. Earthy flavor. Not cheap but not too expensive. Incredibly impressive presentation on the bottle itself. — 9 years ago
Great Rosé champagne — 9 years ago
Beautiful merlot infused with pure extracts of coffee and chocolate. Bold and rich with notes of caramel and burnt sugar. Sweet enough to serve alone for dessert or pair with dark chocolate. — 10 years ago
Just one of my favorite champagne. A bargain compared to some expensive bottles you can find out there. — 10 years ago
A well balanced Chardonnay. Not over oaked as many American Chardonnays are. The kind of balance that you find in lower level French Chardonnays like a Macon-Village. I recommend this as an excellent accompaniment to food. — 11 years ago
Incredible - how can this age so well/stay so fresh? — 12 years ago
