2005 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Claret - USA, California, Napa Valley (3/20/2014)
I was immediately surprised when I poured this wine, as it was not impenetrably purple. There was in fact a bit of lightness at the rim. The aromas were still fresh, with ripe berry and cassis keeping the oak in relative check. While there was a bit of heat for 30 minutes or so, air brought more depth, and the overall texture was silky. Quite delicious!
Not my usual cup of tea, but it sure hit the spot last night.
