Ridge Vineyards, known for its exceptional single-vineyard wines, crafted this vintage with a focus on balance, structure, and age-worthiness.

Color: Deep ruby with purple hues
Aroma: Blackberry, cassis, dark cherry, and plum, complemented by notes of cedar, graphite, cocoa, and a hint of baking spice
Palate: Full-bodied with firm tannins and bright acidity, offering flavors of blackcurrant, dark chocolate, espresso, and subtle oak influence
Finish: Long and structured, with a lingering minerality and elegance

Grape Composition: Primarily Cabernet Sauvignon, with potential small amounts of Merlot, Petit Verdot, or other Bordeaux varietals (Ridge often incorporates blends for complexity)
