Ridge Estate Cabernet Sauvignon 2020

Nestled high in the Santa Cruz Mountains, with a precipitous view of the San Andreas Fault, Ridge Vineyards has long been one of the classic reference points for high quality Californian wines. – Robert Parker Jr.

94% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Merlot

This comes from a site at the estate which is set on limestone and between 1400-2500 elevation. Stored in 55% new American oak before bottling, this reveals hickory notes alongside creme de cassis, anise and shades of black tea. This is seriously good now but give this another year in the bottle to fully come together. Drink 2024-2040. - 94 Points. Owen Bargreen, OwenBargreen.com. (April 2023).
