2021 Pine Ridge Vineyards Stagecoach Cabernet Sauvignon

Eight miles up Soda Canyon lies a world-renowned vineyard named Stagecoach, situated 1,800 feet above the valley floor. From the craggy terrain of Pritchard Hill, you can gaze onto the expanse of Oakville’s renowned wine estates far below. This might be called the last frontier of the Napa Valley – a wilder, more rugged country, fragrant with wild herbs and dotted with rare native plants. It is here that our winemaking team explored over 600 acres of vines planted in 204 unique vineyard blocks to unearth this singular rendering of Cabernet Sauvignon.

A symphony of dried herb and cranberry abound upon entry and evolve into symphony of Damsom plum, gingerbread and rose petals across the palate. Slightly gripping tannins and the luscious essence of blackberry juice ignites a finish punctuated by fresh cut cedar and blackberry seed. A glass of this wine cradled by the warmth of a crackling fire, while savoring a bowl of macaroni and cheese topped with shaved black truffles is the perfect finale to a winter’s night.
