The 2011 Chardonnay (their only wine made from purchased fruit) is aged in a combination of French oak and stainless steel, and goes through partial malolactic. It offers copious aromas of white peaches, apricots and caramelized citrus as well as clean, fresh, lively flavors, a well-concealed wood component and an attractive finish. Drink it over the next 3-4 years.
As always, this winery situated at the crest of Spring Mountain on both sides of the Napa/Sonoma counties boundary, has turned out a portfolio of interesting as well as satisfying wines. Amazingly, Pride Mountain Vineyards now owns over 85 acres at high elevation sites spread over the top of Spring Mountain. Pride Mountain’s two flagship offerings are much more limited in availability, with only 569 cases of the 2010 Claret Reserve and 1,365 cases of the 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve.
