Pride Mountain Vineyards farms organically on hillside sites tied to both Napa Valley and Sonoma, and mountain fruit is what gives this 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon its shape. This is a wine of concentration and lift rather than sheer weight.
Blue and black fruit runs from plum through blackberry to mulberry, enhanced by complex notes of mint, brown sugar, freshly cut cedar and a subtle truffle character. The texture is rich and balanced, with an unctuousness in the mouth, balanced acidity, and silky tannins carrying through the middle and the finish.
With bottle age already behind it, the 2017 is drinking generously now and will hold. Decant it for an hour and serve it with dry-aged steak, rack of lamb, or braised short ribs. It is a collector's Cabernet that still gives real pleasure on the night, and stock at Ralph's is limited.
