Pine Ridge 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon (Stags Leap District)

Country: US /
Variety: Cabernet Sauvignon California
Winery: Pine Ridge / Stags Leap District

From a steep, densely planted estate vineyard, this is a lilting regional example of well-integrated oak in support of black raspberry, licorice and chalky clove. Silky tannins mark it most, providing a balance to the fruit and a pronounced, entirely delectable bite of black pepper on the finish.
