Pride Mountain Vineyards sits high atop Napa Valley's Spring Mountain, at the site of the historic Summit Ranch, where wine grapes have been grown since 1885. At the crest of the Mayacamas Mountains, we are on the Napa-Sonoma county line. For this reason, our wines often carry a Napa-Sonoma designation. Most of the wines are estate, but because we rest in two AVAs, we cannot put the "Estate" moniker on our wines. Far from regional blends, Pride wines are emblematic of our mountaintop terroir and unique position both within two counties and also as a place unto ourselves.
Our Merlot is both plush and lifted, with ripe plum and black cherry, sage brush, citrus zest, star anise, and floral tones. The rich fruit is balanced the classic Pride Mountain dark, slatey earthiness and lovely mineral tension. Sweet vanilla, subtle baking spices, and fine grained tannins give way to a fragrantly floral finish.
