92pts James Suckling

Bright and lifted aromas of blueberries, blackcurrants, violets and raspberry coulis. The palate is medium-bodied with vibrant acidity, a textural mouthfeel and a finish of licorice, blackberries and bitter chocolate. Succulent and focused. Drink or hold.

Tasting Notes

The Pine Ridge Napa Valley Cabernet opens with seductive aromas of Hungarian baking spice, blueberry bramble, and maraschino cherry. Cocoa nib threads through a plush palate of blackberry, mandarin, and slate. Bright acidity lifts the flavors, while Marionberry and polished tannins stretch the finish. Juicy and layered, it’s built to evolve over a decade. Enjoy with pork loin and cherry chipotle sauce.
