2008 Pride Mountain Vineyards Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon, California, USA

VINOUS 93+	VINOUS (15.2% alcohol; includes 3% petit verdot): Ruby-red. Crushed blueberry, cassis and licorice on the vibrant nose. A sweet, classy fruit bomb with terrific spicy, floral lift to the intense flavors of briary mountain berries. High-toned, high-pitched wine with a firm tannic spine for long aging. But this is also great fun to taste right now.
WA 92	WINE ADVOCATE The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is a big, powerful wine loaded with fruit. The tannins are equally imposing. Today the wine comes across as painfully young, but the Reserve has a track record of aging beautifully in bottle, so it will be interesting to see where the 2008 goes over the coming years. Sweet mint, new leather and licorice are some of the nuances that add complexity on the focused, articulate finish. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028.
WS 90	WINE SPECTATOR Intense and at points rustic and chewy, full-bodied and dense, with complex, firm and tannic, giving the dark berry flavors a dry savory edge. Rambles over rough terrain, yet remains complex and alluring. Best from 2013 through 2023.
