Pride Mountain

Sub Header / Tagline

Pride Mountain Vineyards sits high atop Napa Valley’s Spring Mountain, at the site of the historic Summit Ranch, where wine grapes have been grown since 1885. Their beautiful estate includes wine caves dug deep into the mountains and the ruins of the old stone Summit Winery dating to 1890. At the crest of the Mayacamas Mountains, Pride sits on the Napa-Sonoma county line.

Pride’s goal is to make intensely flavored wines that reflect and honor their unique growing situation at 2100’ elevation. The vineyards mainly face south and are above the fog layer which results in vines bathed in sunshine from morning to evening throughout the growing season. The morning low temperatures are much higher than in the surrounding valleys while the afternoon high temperatures are much lower. These distinct growing conditions result in big red wines that are on the black-fruit side of the ripeness spectrum but that nonetheless are loaded with varietal character and a nice amount of acidity on the finish. The viognier and chardonnay have mid-palate richness due to all of our sunshine but are able to maintain acidity and excitement on the finish. These whites are distinguished by having a strong flavor intensity while simultaneously remaining fresh and lively in the mouth.
