1996 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Cabernet - 99 pts!
The virtually perfect 1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 330 cases is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Opaque purple-colored with a profound bouquet of minerals flowers black fruits and spice this awesomely concentrated multi-layered wine represents the essence of Cabernet Sauvignon. Amazingly it is neither ponderous nor heavy handed with the oak acidity and tannin woven into the wine's formidable concentrated personality. The finish lasts for nearly a minute. Sadly it is extremely limited in availability but what a compelling wine it is! Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025. This is a spectacular wine that must be tasted to be believed. RP
