Pride Mountain Vineyards, better known as Summit Ranch to the locals, is bisected by the Napa/Sonoma county line. The Prides constructed their own facility which has been fully operational since 1997. The first record of vineyards on these lands, however, dates all the way back to 1869. From the website: "Our attitude is that each wine growing region has its own unique expression that can be embraced and enjoyed for what it is. In California, we have the ability to achieve a level of ripeness that is simply not possible in France. How to make a wine that celebrates this unique gift of ripeness without sacrificing structure, complexity and balance, is an artistic challenge that continues to be our raison d’etre here at Pride Mountain Vineyards"
The Pride vineyards total 83 acres, draped across the crest of the Mayacamas Mountains, about 2000 feet above the Napa Valley floor, offering very optimal conditions for wine production. To learn more about the idyll location of the Pride vineyards, and the meticulous, distinctive practices that the Pride family and team brings to wine making, we encourage you to visit their website. You can purchase Pride wines online. And, of course, schedule visit for tours and tastings.
Atelier Emmanuel will serve a 2007 Chardonnay and a 2006 Merlot for you to taste on Thursdays from Dec 15th to Jan 15th. See above for details.
