Pine Ridge Vineyards has made wine in Napa Valley since 1978. That year Gary Andrus planted the first vineyard on a terraced hillside in the Stags Leap District. The winery sits beneath a ridge of pines, which explains the name. Today it farms about 160 acres of estate vines, all Napa Green certified.
This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon pulls fruit from Stags Leap, Oakville, Rutherford, Howell Mountain and Carneros. Blending all those sites gives the wine both depth and lift. Some vintages also include a little of the other Bordeaux grapes. The 2023 spent 18 months in barrel, mostly French oak with some American oak.
Every vintage is a little different, so expect some change from year to year. The 2023 opens with baking spice, blueberry and maraschino cherry. Blackberry and cocoa nib fill the full-bodied palate, lifted by bright acidity. Marionberry and polished tannins carry the long finish. Earlier vintages showed more plum, vanilla and coffee.
Critics keep coming back to this wine. James Suckling scored the 2021, 2022 and 2023 vintages 92 points each. Robert Parker's reviewers rated those years 90 to 91 points. The Somm Journal gave the 2023 a 95-point score.
Open a bottle with grilled steak, braised short ribs or a hearty stew. The winery suggests pork loin with a cherry chipotle sauce. Aged cheeses are a safe bet too. Younger bottles benefit from some time in a decanter. Alcohol shifts a bit by year, so check the label on your vintage.
