Perfectly ripe blackberry and black plum are layered with chocolate, Five Spice, cardamon, black licorice, black loamy earth, and wet pipe tobacco. The luxurious black fruit is carried through on the palate alongside cocoa nibs, bay, and baking spices. The flavors envelop your whole mouth, driven by the fresh fruit of youthfulness and distinctively firm tannins of the 2021 vintage. Bright acidity brings balance to the chewy tannins and drives the minutes long finish. This is classic Pride Merlot, exemplifying the power, density, and elegance of mountaintop viticulture.

The 2021 Merlot is packed with dark blue/purplish fruit, new leather, spice, tobacco, mocha and licorice. Juicy and enveloping, with terrific energy, the Merlot is absolutely delicious. The brighter style here is so compelling. Plush contours wrap it all together.

Plums and cherries accented by chunks of dark chocolate and a spiced finish, build a richly flavored and mouthwatering Merlot with a velvety textured, balanced acidity and a lot of persistence. Savory and satisfying.

Lots of red plums, darker chocolate, and tobacco notes emerge from the 2021 Merlot, a beautifully textured, medium-bodied Pomerol look-alike that has fine tannins, notable purity, and a great finish. It's beautifully done and an utterly delicious, satisfying Merlot to drink over the coming decade.
