Black Ridge 2008 San Andreas Red Red (Santa Cruz Mountains)

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

Made in the modern style, with fairly high alcohol, lots of sweet oak, and massively extracted cherry, berry and mocha flavors. It’s smooth in tannins and complex, and is showing its best now and over the next few years.
