The 1992 Merlot exhibits black-cherry, herb, and coffee aromas and flavors. It has some tannin to shed, but otherwise it is a ripe, medium-bodied, nicely concentrated wine that should drink well for 7-8 years. Pride Mountain has been receiving increasing attention because of its well-made, elegant, concentrated Cabernet Francs, Merlots, and Cabernet Sauvignons. Tel. (707) 963-4949; Fax (707) 963-6039
