Pride

2004 Pride Merlot
Shane’s Notes
$56.00

Pride has been on our “must try” list for quite awhile. Now we can say we have had one, and we can also say that we are not fans of the Pride style. The palate was dominated by massive flavors of vanilla and chocolate with maybe, just maybe, some berry flavor underneath. The wine was very well balanced but we need more than vanilla and chocolate in our wine to keep us interested. It tasted more like a candied beverage than like a fine wine. Our guess is that there is simply too much new oak for our palates.
