Black Ridge 2009 San Andreas Red Red (Santa Cruz Mountains)

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

What a pretty wine! Made from Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cab Franc and Petit Verdot, it’s delicious and complex, with each of the grape varieties bringing something different. The blackberry, cherry, currant and cedar flavors are wrapped into silky tannins. Should age for 5–6 years, but there’s no reason you can’t drink it now.
