2022 Pine Ridge Vineyards Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Cabernet Sauvignon is synonymous with Napa Valley and has always been at the core of our winemaking program at Pine Ridge Vineyards. Our Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a combination of estate fruit from Stags Leap, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford and Carneros, and grapes from select Napa Valley growers with a focus on sourcing around our home in Stags Leap District.
An enticing mélange of baking spices intermingled with the mouth-watering aromas of a cherry raspberry compote demands a more in-depth sensory experience. Multiple, varied flavors of cranberry sauce, oven baked shortbread and strawberry jam explode on the palate, culminating in a sweet, juicy, round mid-palate. The acidic backbone provides focus to the lush texture of the wine and drives forward toward notes of vanilla and molasses. These meld nicely with aromatics of fresh blueberries, framed by the soft tannin finish. This wine is very quaffable now and will benefit from cellaring for the next 10 years.
