All buyers must be at least 21 years old and able to legally receive wine in their state of residence. I request payment within 5 days of the auction close. Shipping costs are simply what the shipper charges me, no bogus mark-ups and I will supply all shipping materials at no cost to you. If you want to use your own FEDEX or UPS shipping account thats fine I prefer it. PayPal adds 3%.

Cabernet is planted on some of our most extreme roc ky volcanic soils at 2000+ foot elevation which results in darkened wine color and contributes to the concentrated cassis and chocolate flavors. A classic nose of black currant, cassis, licorice and tobacco, these characteristics also saturate the palate, with cocoa emerging on the minute-long finish. Our Pride Cabernet Sauvignon is sometimes blended with 5% Merlot to broaden the mid-palate when needed, and is always blended with up to 10% Petit...

2001 Pride Mountain Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon is structured and closed, but good. There are 3,000 cases of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Its inky/purple color is followed by scents of pure creme de cassis intertwined with licorice, smoke, and cigar tobacco. Sweet tannin forms a backdrop for a wine of admirable texture, intensity, and purity. A tremendous experience to smell and taste, it should be at its peak between 2006-2020.

Description: Medium ruby-red. Subdued aromas of plum, currant, tar, earth, roasted herbs and cedary spices. The palate offers better definition and energy than the merlot, with nicely perfumed mountain berry and cedar flavors offering sneaky intensity. Finishes with a serious dusting of tannins and good life and length. Stephen Tanzer

Cabernets can be mellow and mild, hearty and rich. It has a deep red color, with the primary taste being black currant. Other overtones can include blackberry and mint. Traditionally aged in oak, the wine also takes on an oaky, vanilla flavor. Higher quality cabs age extremely well (although a bit slowly), developing a sprinkling of five or six tastes within it.

“A big, juicy young Cab that impresses for sheer flashiness, yet needs time for its edges to soften. The ripe blackberry and cassis fruit is deep and generous, with nuances of smoky oak and sweet herbs. But the tannins are very strong and astringent. Needs cellar time. Best after 2009. Cellar Selection.” 92 Points, Wine Enthusiast, February 2008.

Our 2004 Howell Mountain Cabernet is made from fruit grown by Mike Beatty on the famous Beatty Ranch, the oldest Cabernet vineyard in the appellation. At over 1,800 feet in elevation, the vineyard is known for its rich, concentrated Cabernet fruit flavors. Planted to Clone 6, it is dry-farmed for low yields and exceptional quality. We harvest select blocks to achieve the utmost intensity and depth of flavor.In 2004, warm temperatures in March forced early budbreak, and unusually dry spring conditions...

More backward, but also revealing the noble sweetness of tannin that is so important for this varietal, the 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Estate exhibits a dense ruby/purple hue as well as sweet aromas of black currants, white chocolate, camphor, and spring flowers. Beautiful purity, ripe tannins, full body, and a 45-second finish result in a dazzling example of Spring Mountain Cabernet. However, patience is warranted. Give this wine 2-3 years of bottle age, and drink it over the following...

"A potentially perfect wine, which is in bottle after having spent 30 or so months in a combination of old and new oak. The practice under Bob Foley is to first keep the wines in neutral wood as the selections are made for the different cuvees and then, once made, move the wines into new oak until bottling. The 2001 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (a 1,300-case blend of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged 27 months in oak) offers gorgeously fresh, lively, but super-concentrated fruit. Inky blue/purple to the...

"($110) Good medium ruby. Rather reticent, brooding nose hints at black cherry, blackberry, violet, bitter chocolate and new oak; suggestions of almost port-like superripeness. Lush, sweet and fat, with intriguing mineral and tar notes; showing more mid-palate density than the reserve claret but this is also less open and juicy today. Finishes with substantial, broad, oak-driven tannins that slightly shorten the wine's fruit today, but this has very good thrust and length. This actually got more...

The Cabernet Sauvignon vines are planted on some of Pride Mountain Vineyards’ most extreme rocky volcanic soils, located at a 2000+ foot elevation. This results in wines of a deeper color, and contributes to concentrated cassis and chocolate flavors. Pride vinifies and ages all of their vineyard lots separately, a labor-intensive process that allows for complete control to harvest at optimal ripeness and blend only complementary lots. This structured, weighty wine is blended from 58% Napa and 42...

Originally part of a Spanish land grant that covered 4,000 acres, La Jota Vineyard was built and operated by Frederick Hess until Prohibition. Turned over to prunes and pigs, the winery and land were in disrepair when Bill Smith purchased La Jota in 1974 from a group of San Francisco investors. Commuting from the Peninsula on weekends, Bill and his wife Joan, enlisted the help of family and friends to establish a vineyard, and spent hours irrigating each vine by hand. A growing passion for wine,...

88+ points, Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate, December, 2005 The dark ruby/purple-hued 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon, a blend of 83% Napa and 17% Sonoma fruit, displays a slight austerity along with dried, tougher tannin that the Merlot or Cabernet Franc. Medium-bodied and well-made, but Bordeaux-like in its backwardness and inaccessibility, this is one of the few Pride Mountain efforts that requires 2–3 years of aging. It should last...

Rated 93 points by the Wine Spectator: "A polished, seductive style, offering rich black cherry and blackberry fruit that's ripe and well-defined, with an overlay of smoky, toasty oak, folding together nicely on the finish. For all its richness and complexity, this is a graceful wine that's already fun to drink. Drink now through 2011. 6,500 cases made. (JL)"
