Winemaker Notes
Opaque ruby color with ripe cassis, plum and red currant fruit, toasty oak, vanilla, fennel, juniper berry, and bay laurel. Well-integrated velvety tannins, full mid-palate, firm acid, and a long, sumptuous finish.
About the Producer
At Ridge, we call our approach to winemaking 'pre-industrial.' We believe that for anyone attempting to make fine wine, modern additives and industrial processing limit true quality. Using indigenous yeast, we let the terroir define the wine winemaking decisions are based upon taste, not a recipe. Our authenticity lies in transparency, including ingredient labeling on every single wine we make. We are committed to sustainability and organic farming of our vineyards. We are the largest grower of organically certified grapes in Sonoma County and in the Santa Cruz Mountains appellation
