Cabernet Sauvignon's high ratio of skin to juice is the simple reason its wines are so deeply coloured and so firmly structured. Blackberry, tobacco leaf and a savory herbal note underneath the ripe fruit. Napa Valley remains America's benchmark for Cabernet, with a warm valley floor and cooler hillside sites producing very different wines within a few miles of each other. Bottled by Pine Ridge Napa Valley from the 2023 harvest. Give it thirty minutes open before pouring. The classic pairing is a well-marbled steak.
