Tasty medium bodied wine that has lots of fruit and vibrancy. Not the most complex wine but it's all pleasure.

This was a wow for me. Wonderful structure and acidity. Dark and red fruit with some cocoa powder, cedar, hints of menthol and sage. Hits along the entire palate.

Made from vines adjacent to Ridge’s iconic Monte Bello property, Ian Brand crafts an excellent Cabernet of structure and length. Bright acidity and a dusty and persistent tannic grip. Smoke, raspberry, dust, high toned and salty.
