Wine Advocate (100)I have consumed several bottles of the 1997 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill. One of the most awesome young reds I have ever tasted, it possesses a black/purple color, a seamless texture, and freakishly high levels of intensity (cassis, black and blueberries infused with espresso, chocolate, and licorice) that are flawlessly presented in a full-bodied, massive yet elegant wine. Nothing is out of balance in this explosively rich, thick, highly-extracted Cabernet. A compelling, historic Cabernet Sauvignon, it will drink well for 30-35 years. |

Wine Advocate (100)The 1997 Harlan Estate is one of the greatest Cabernet Sauvignon-based wines I have ever tasted. A blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon, with the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this enormously-endowed, profoundly rich wine must be tasted to be believed. Opaque purple-colored, it boasts spectacular, soaring aromatics of vanilla, minerals, coffee, blackberries, licorice, and cassis. In the mouth, layer after layer unfold powerfully yet gently. Acidity, tannin, and alcohol are well-balanced by the wine's unreal richness and singular personality. The finish exceeds one minute. Anticipated maturity: 2001-2030. |

Wine Spectator (92)Elegant and stylish, with supple plum and black cherry fruit that's fleshy textured, picking up fresh herb, anise and loamy mineral flavors that give it complexity and depth. Firm tannins. |

The Pride Mountain Napa and Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 is an exquisite, one-off vintage. Matured for two decades, it exudes complexity and depth. This full-bodied Cabernet hails from the renowned Pride Mountain Vineyards, nestled atop the Mayacamas mountain range straddling Napa and Sonoma counties. Characterised by its rich dark fruit profile with anise and chocolate nuances, it demonstrates the unique terroir influence of hilltop vineyards. Pride Mountain, a family-run operation, adheres to sustainable viticulture practices, yielding wines of exceptional quality and elegance. The 1997 vintage showcases the highest expression of their endeavour, with its exquisite balance, smooth tannins, and a long, lingering finish. As the wine has aged, it has developed a complexity and maturity that amplifies its charms. The Pride Mountain Napa and Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 is a treasure. A contiguous blend of both Napa and Sonoma fruit, it genuinely celebrates viticulture at the mountain's peak. |
