Black Ridge 2006 San Andreas Red Red (Santa Cruz Mountains)

Country: US / San Andreas Red
Variety: Bordeaux-style Red Blend California
Winery: Black Ridge / Santa Cruz Mountains

A beautiful Cabernet-based Bordeaux blend, albeit a very young one that would be a shame to drink too early. The score indicates its current drinkability, but that could heighten over the next 6–8 years. Shows a very firm tannic structure, with luscious black currant flavors that grow richer as the wine warms up in the glass.
