The 2023 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon is a veritable labyrinth for the senses.  The dense weave of blackberries, graphite and boysenberries is framed beautifully by sandalwood with a hint of cedar.  A bit further in, lovely earthy and savory notes emerge that include sage, whole leaf tobacco, and sweet mint.  All of this range of flavor comes together in way that is only possible in a stellar year like 2023, that was slightly cooler than average for us, and only at a unique site like Pride.  The mouthwatering range of retronasal flavors lead into a generously opulent expression of cabernet. Full and rich through the mid-palate, the tannin structure builds a pleasing momentum that carries the wine through a long, meandering finish.
