Wine Description

Since our founding in 1978, Pine Ridge Vineyards has invested in 160 acres of estate vineyards, 47 of which are in our home appellation, Stags Leap District. The fruit for this vintage was chosen from our premier sites set throughout the Napa Valley including our estates in Stags Leap, Howell Mountain, Oakville, Rutherford and Carneros. The 2021 vintage was harvested from September 9th to October 19th.

The grapes were hand-picked at night, carefully sorted in the vineyard, then brought to the cellar and de-stemmed. This meticulous care taken in the vineyard by our Viticulture Director Gustavo Aviña and his crew delivered bright, ripe fruit, with substantial mouthfeel and complexity. Following a cold soak, a high-temperature fermentation occurred to ensure maximum flavor and color extraction. The wine was racked to 35% new French oak and 15% new American oak barrels and aged for 18 months prior to bottling. 50% was aged in neutral French Oak to maintain the freshness and elegance of the vintage.

A juicy turkey burger topped with Gorgonzola Dolce would be a fitting accompaniment to this wine.

Timothy Rodriguez – May 20, 2021
Deep purple with a smoky nose, full-bodied with a velvety texture, balanced acidity, and long, spicy finish. Excellent Napa Cabernet. Drink now with decant, evolve until 2031.

Gary Mellas – September 2, 2021
Pine Ridge’s 2018 Napa Cab is heavily extracted and full-bodied with blackberry, cassis, licorice, chocolate, eucalyptus, and allspice. Enjoyable, but goes over-the-top for some palates. Drink at 60-62°F and benefit from aeration. Drink 2024-2033.

Richard Hammel – September 11, 2021
Simple Cab with cassis and black currant, lacking uniqueness. Great for fruit lovers.

Excellent wine that improved remarkably with age – hard to find more of this vintage.
Rated 4 out of 5
Bill Walters – October 27, 2021
Black and blue fruit, with anise, dark florals, leather and wet earth notes. Oak, vanilla and sweetness is a bit too much for my taste. Good value at low $30s. 89-90 if scoring.

Great California Cab that’s a crowd pleaser. Oak touch is even-handed, fruit is great. A steal at under $50.

Linda Candelario – November 10, 2021
Sturdy wine with vanilla, coconut aromas, blackberry, and red fruit notes. Needs 3-4 years to reach its peak.
Rated 4 out of 5
Jean Latson – November 21, 2021
The wine looks ruby colored. The legs are slow. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like blueberry, red currant and oak. It tastes like blueberry and black currant (cassis). The body is medium/full. The wine has round texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has low acidity.

Jeffrey Jones – November 23, 2021
Blackberry and black cherry on the nose and palate, big body, mouth-filling fruit, long finish, and lovely aftertaste. Cellar for 2 more years to enhance the flavor.

Pine Ridge NV is a great value with exceptional fruit and balanced tannins. Highly recommended.

Sara Marrs – December 4, 2021
Balanced Cabernet with mild fruit notes, but needs more age to resolve tannic grip. Freshness stands out.

Joyce Pearson – February 6, 2022
Oaky with notes of cedar, vanilla, and yogurt. Pencil, charcoal, mint, and pine aromas. Speck and smoky character after aeration. Sweet and fruity palate with vanilla and oak, but bitter and sour finish. Needs 10 more years unless paired with T-bone on fire BBQ.

Sidney Sutton – February 10, 2022
Fresh and alive with roasted fruit notes. Lengthy on the palate with some acidity. Not getting better.

Dean Williams – February 18, 2022
Pine Ridge style: oaky, round, ripe, sweet and broad. Dark violet color, medium finish. Too heavy, won’t buy again.

John Baltes – February 22, 2022
Wine is still good despite CT’s drink by 2019 recommendation. Thin at first, but flavors grow deep and rich after 10 minutes. Oaky on the nose, tannins mellowed and soft. Good red and black fruit flavors and can last a few more years.

Fruity wine, needs more time. Low tannins. Drink next year – 2025.

Elizabeth Hopkins – March 19, 2022
Nice wine overall, but the high alcohol content is too overpowering. Good combination of dark fruit and oak with a punchy menthol taste. Tannins are not the most elegant right now. It’s worth trying but not sure if I’d buy it again.
Rated 4 out of 5
Alvin Kirk – April 17, 2022
Full-bodied and smooth with balanced black fruit flavors of black currants and plum. Polished tannins and medium-length finish make it perfect to pair with rib-eye steaks. Two-hour decant from magnum enhances the taste.
Rated 4 out of 5
Paul Palmer – April 22, 2022
Delightful blend of ripe black cherries, conifer, licorice, graphite, and smoke. Clever tannic structure with lovely tension between chocolate and dark fruit sweetness. Delicious now, no hurry.

Jarvis Vaughan – June 12, 2022
This Cabernet Sauvignon may not suit those looking for a subtle taste. However, it is drinking nicely at 12 years and has mellowed out. It has a fruit presence and is not over-the-hill.

Drink now or age for 2-3 years. Excellent on day two.

92 points. Knock-out nose of creme de cassis, frutti di bosco compotes, new oak, and hot rocks after a summer squall. Ripe and generous palate with loads of cassis, berries, vanilla, and crushed stones. Full-bodied, perfectly balanced. Drink now-2028+.
