The 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a classic Pride wine. A Cabernet Sauvignon of port-like richness and unctuosity, the 2013 saturates the palate with tons of intensity. This dense, full-throttle Cabernet certainly delivers the goods. Blackberry jam, grilled herbs, sage, mint and cloves build into the huge, dense finish.
Anticipated maturity: 2023-2033
A real tour de force once again, and their second consecutive perfect score, is the 2013 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, which is 99% Cabernet Sauvignon and 1% Petit Verdot aged 22 months in 40% new French oak. It is a larger cuvee of 1,416 cases versus 450 for the Reserve Claret. The Cabernet is just under 15% alcohol. A fantastic wine, with great intensity, notes of graphite, forest floor, creme de cassis, white chocolate and blackberry, the wine hits the palate with a thunderous presence, has a multi-layered, skyscraper-like palate feel, a plush, intense texture, high but well-integrated tannin and acidity, and nicely disguised oak. This is a magnificent wine, with 79% of it coming from the Sonoma side of Spring Mountain and 21% from the Napa side. Drink it over the next 25-30+ years.
Anticipated maturity: 2016-2046
