title: Pride Mountain 2006 Vintner Select Cuvée Merlot (Sonoma County)
description: There's no Merlot in California that's richer or more decadent than this. The flavors of cherry pie filling, cassis, red currants, chocolate, licorice and smoky oak are totally delicious. Granted, the wine is a little soft, with a melted texture, and classicists will complain it's made in the International style. They're missing out on a real hedonistic pleasure.
variety: Merlot
designation: Vintner Select Cuvée
