Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot 2021 Review
Pride Mountain Vineyards has land that straddles both Sonoma and Napa County. The Summit Ranch was sold to the Prides by John Gamble of Gamble Family Wines in 1989, and today they continue to make age-worthy wines from atop the mountain. The nose is ripe and woodsy with some plum and cedar notes. The palate is soft with a slight grip.
