I’m celebrating a perfect Fall day in New York with a prize from the cellar, a Pride Mountain ’97 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve. This wine is an occasion in its own right. Possibly the best bottle of Napa Valley Cab I’ve ever drank. Amazing fruit concentration. Flavor and tannins that redefine ripe. And a finish that won’t stop. If there was a Waldstein scale, this defines the top. California cult cab aficionados, you wish you were here right now!
