Full and rich through the mid-palate, the tannin structure builds a pleasing momentum that carries the wine through a long, meandering finish. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDecanter: 94 Points\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lisa Wherry - Springboard","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":51490699673917,"sku":null,"price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0871\/6261\/8173\/files\/Pride-Palm-springs-wine-store_b7caf266-b814-4b6a-a372-01181c432e93.jpg?v=1741638563","url":"https:\/\/www.perryspsp.com\/products\/pride-mountain-vineyards-cabernet-sauvignon-2021-napa-sonoma-ca-copy","provider":"Perry's Fine Wine \u0026 Liquors Palm Springs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
