Pine Ridge Napa Cabernet 2002

An enticing mélange of baking spices intermingled with the mouth-watering aromas of a cherry raspberry compote demands a more in-depth sensory experience. Multiple, varied flavors of cranberry sauce, oven baked shortbread and strawberry jam explode on the palate, culminating in a sweet, juicy, round mid-palate. The acidic backbone provides focus to the lush texture of the wine and drives forward toward notes of vanilla and molasses. These meld nicely with aromatics of fresh blueberries, framed by the soft tannin finish. This wine is very quaffable now and will benefit from cellaring for the next 10 years. Winemaker
