THE STORY

About this wine

Fresh, structured 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley's Stags Leap District, powerful yet elegant — 98% Cabernet Sauvignon with 2% Petite Sirah, 15.5% alcohol, medium- to full-bodied, polished tannins under black cherry, cassis, and oak-spice complexity.

Pine Ridge Vineyards was founded in 1978 in what is now the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley. The 2023 wine is a selection from all four of the producer’s estate vineyards in the district, totaling 47 vine-acres.

Worth knowing

Every grape was picked by hand at night, October 5 through November 1. The lots fermented in stainless steel, concrete, and oak barrel fermenters, the vineyard components came together after three months, and the finished wine spent 20 months in barrel, 75% of it new French oak.

Blend

  • Cabernet Sauvignon 98%

CHARACTERISTICS AND TASTING TIPS OF THE Pine Ridge Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon (Stags Leap District) 2023

Tasting

Color: Red in the glass.
Nose: Graphite and slate come first, then the fruit opens into black cherry, huckleberry, and berry compote.
Palate: Full-bodied and expansive, with juicy black cherry and cassis at the center and raspberry, vanilla, and cedar around them. Bold tannins carry the mid-palate into a long finish that lands softly tannic and velvety, youthful grip intact.

Pairs Beautifully With

A must try with Grilled portobello, arugula and Brie on ciabatta
A must try with Char-grilled steak or roast lamb
A must try with Aged hard cheeses
