1998 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Claret - 93 pts - 750ml

1998 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Claret - 93 pts - 750ml

$155.00
1998 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Claret
Pride Mountain Vineyards was founded in 1990 by Jim and Carolyn Pride and since 2004 has been owned by their children Suzanne Pride Bryan and Steve Pride. From 2004, the winery has been run and managed by Steve Pride, CEO and Director of Winegrowing. Moreover, these wines catapult Pride Mountain into the top echelon of California's quality wineries.

Overall, their winemaking practices are traditional, even as they continue to evolve, and are designed to let the terroir signatures of the grapes be present in the finished wines.  The Bordeaux varieties of red grapes are 100% destemmed and fermented over a two-week period in stainless steel before being racked to 50% neutral and 50% new French barrels where they age for roughly 18 months with racking every 4 months.  An exception is the syrah that is only partially destemmed and is aged in 100% neutral barrels.

Rating RP93 - 1998 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Claret The opaque purple-colored 1998 Reserve Claret a blend of 60% Merlot 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot reveals red and black fruit scents intermixed with vanilla underbrush and mocha/coffee. It is long and opulently-textured with low acidity fabulous fruit a succulent expansive mid-palate and a blockbuster long finish. This is compelling stuff! Drink it over the next 12-15 years. The limited production Reserve cuvee 280 cases is an expression of California winemaking at its most compelling.
