OK, I'll admit I had to look up Ruby Cabernet (Cab Sauv/Carignane). Developed by not over the hill, bright acid, soft tannin. A really fun taste of Ca history

When your 1st choice (which is also the last bottle) is corked, and the sommelier says, "I've got something for you..." You get this bottle of history. Still very youthful. Thanks, Scott Brenner. #PRESS

A piece of CA history. Ruby Cabernet was bred at UC Davis, a cross between cab sauv and Carignane, typically used for jug wine, but this one was lovingly made by Paul Draper, nose a bit tired, but a lively three-dimensional palate, with refined pebbly tannins.

First time with the Ruby Vineyard 1974. Wow. 42 years old and still singing! Fruit and tannins in perfect harmony. Have had the Monte Bello but never the Ruby. What a treat!!
