Pine Ridge has not only been a staple in our store for decades, but it's also one of the preeminent producers of the Napa Valley. Their Cabernet can be found on the wine lists at top-tier restaurants and hotels, as well as the dinner table. We've had a strong relationship with the winery for years, and have been working with them on getting even better pricing to offer you, our loyal customers.

Cabernet Sauvignon is synonymous with Napa Valley and has always been at the core of the winemaking program at Pine Ridge Vineyards. The winery lies in the Stags Leap District, tucked beneath a ridge of pines, with a full view of the rugged palisades that speak to the dramatic geologic origins of their property, and its world-famous Cabernet Sauvignon soils. In addition, Pine Ridge is Certified Sustainable in the vineyards, as well as their cellar practices.

Josh Widaman is the current winemaker for this venerable property, and Josh was the winemaker for the Napa Cabernet that was named Wine Spectator's "Wine of the Year" in 2016! The 2022 Pine Ridge Napa Cabernet is comprised of estate fruit from Stags Leap, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford, and Carneros.

Pine Ridge farms with the environment very much in mind, treating each site to a customized conservation program. Every vineyard they work with is Napa Green certified, adhering to a code of agricultural practices that protect the local watershed, stress biodiversity, and promote climate action. This meticulous care, taken in the vineyard by Viticulture Director Gustavo Aviña and his crew, delivered bright, ripe fruit, with substantial mouthfeel and complexity.

Aged for 18 months in both French and American oak, this 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.
