Yes—exactly that kind of wine: timeless, composed, and quietly authoritative.

It smells so good on first pour. Damp pine forest floor and clean mountain air register immediately. Everything else unravels from there; but that initial pop-and-pour sniff is pure magic.

On the palate, blackcurrant, cedar, graphite, and dried herbs unfold with control, carried by freshness and finely etched tannins in a medium body.

So classic, so intellectual, and deeply mesmerizing. Drink now or age. — 3 hours ago

Citrus, tropical, good mineral balance. Overall pretty great with food. Way better as it warms interestingly. — 11 days ago

Not really complex just a solid mid week bottle with tertiary notes coming into play. — a month ago

An icon for a reason. Exactly what you want from a California Cab. Balanced yet bold, powerful yet refined. Amazing. — 12 days ago

Love Alpine Pinot. Think this needs more time to be stellar, but still great now. — 3 days ago

Excellent cab! Always great from Ridge, this one is full bodied, nicely aged (still has room to age more, but wonderful right now!, wish i had a couple more) — 20 days ago

Delicious, full and smooth. Maybe a bit young but my kind of cab. Full and lacking any annoying intensity abrasive tannins. Would never d&d on this one — 2 days ago

Bought at Pine Orchard 11/25 $70 after tasting at Ridge in 10/25. Less expensive here. The 2023 is rated at 100 pts. Absolutely delicious. Floral aromas, lightly crisp, subtle oak, smooth finish. — 12 days ago

Dark red pomegranate, mushroom, bramble, light, enough acid to counter light tannins. Excellent cab. — 14 days ago

Was missing something. Maybe some verve? — a month ago
