This is one of the least drinkable of Pride Mountain's new red wines, simply because it needs time. It's all primary fruit vs. oak now, with unintegrated blackberry, cherry, currant and mocha flavors fighting it out with smoky caramelized wood and vanilla. Tannins lurk in the background, ready to embrace both sides. Made solidly in the modern cult style of extreme ripeness and high alcohol, it's a compelling wine that should come into its own sometime late in 2010, and drink well for 6–8 years.
