2007 Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot Sonoma Napa

(92 points  --  Wine Advocate)

The 2007 Merlot, which comes from both Napa and Sonoma fruit (the Pride Mountain vineyards are split by the county line), exhibits a dense purple color as well as abundant chocolate and berry fruit notes, medium to full body, and great freshness, length, and depth. It is a heady, succulent style of Merlot to drink over the next 7-10 years. Wine Advocate # 186 Dec 2009
