Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the best wines in this range. It shows a bit more opulence than the Vintner Select Cabernet, but that is understandable given a large production meant to please a wide range of consumers. Soft and succulent, with terrific depth, the 2021 offers tons of immediacy in its inky dark fruit, leather and spice flavors. This is a gorgeous wine.

The 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon saw approximately 50% new French oak, but it comes across as substantially less voluptuous than either the Franc or the Merlot. Cassis and redcurrants marry easily on the nose of this medium to full-bodied wine, which finishes crisp and dusty. With its linear structure, pair it with rare beef or lamb if serving the wine young.
