1997 Pride Reserve Claret  750 ml
Napa Valley, CA  USA 

Tasting note:  

95 points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
Outer quote mark While only microscopic quantities were produced of this wine, 
It is an immense wine of extraordinary concentration and depth. The compelling 
1997 Reserve Claret offers an opaque purple color in addition to a sumptuous bouquet 
of sweet blackberries, creme de cassis, and minerals, superb richness, exceptional concentration,
and huge body. However, it manages to avoid being overbearing or unmanageable. Purity and 
delineation are also present in this multi-dimensional, prodigious wine. Although an infant in 
terms of development, it is accessible because of the ripe tannin and spectacularly concentrated 
fruit. -RP
