2022 Pine Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley

Winemaker Notes: Upon first inspection, this garnet hued beauty reveals aromatics of red raspberry and cherry cola, but after diving back into the glass one will start to notice beautiful wafts of molasses ginger cookies and gingerbread, reminiscent of trips to grandma’s house as a kid. Notes of cherry jam and a vibrant acidity make your mouth water as notes of caramel, vanilla and pumpkin pie spice give a rich warmth and depth to the palate. On the finish, hints of coffee and strawberry jam lightly recede into the distance.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


Tasting Panel - "In its youthful iteration, this energetic red ignites the senses with a mineral base and top notes of blackberry, plum skin, and espresso. With an upright structure, notes of violets and Hoisin sauce combine for a recipe of elegant complexity."


James Suckling - "Spiced and minty nose with blackberry, blackcurrant, blue flower, licorice and cedar notes. Full-bodied with lush, succulent fruit and velvety tannins. Ripe and concentrated, with a flavorful, dark-fruited finish. Rich and mellow."


Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - "The blended 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon incorporates fruit from five AVAs and is about one-third purchased fruit. Marked by black cherries and cassis fruit, it's a full-bodied, soft and lush effort that shows ample richness and texture. It easily handles the 50% new oak (a mix of French and American)."


Jeb Dunnuck - "Brought up in 60% new French oak, the 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley has a healthy ruby/plum hue as well as perfumed aromatics of red, blue, and black fruits intermixed with pretty spice, dried flower, and incense nuances. It's balanced, medium to full-bodied, plush, and pleasure-bent."
