4x5
2018 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
Classically balanced wine presenting an elegant expression of the stunning 2018 vintage. An ideal climate of even temperatures throughout the summer and fall produced delicious grapes that show true varietal character and signature Napa Valley characteristics of dark berries and red cherry fruit, along with a velvety texture. The 2018 is a wine that has the structure to last, so it may be enjoyed upon release or cellared for enjoyment at a later date.
Winemaker, Pine Ridge Vineyards
Michael Beaulac joined the Pine Ridge Vineyards team as General Manager and Winemaker in 2009. He has worked with some of the most highly regarded wineries in both Sonoma and Napa Valley, including St. Supery, Markham Vineyards and Murphy-Goode.
"We have 12 vineyards comprising 160 acres across five appellations, and all of the fruit is completely different," Michael says. "I was drawn to Pine Ridge by the interesting challenge of showcasing these differences both by creating individual, appellation-specific wines as well as balanced blends that combine the outstanding qualities of the different vineyards."
In his role, Michael oversees all grape growing and winemaking operations as well as facilities management at the winery. "With the winery's exceptional reputation and collection of estate vineyards, this position is a winemaker's dream. It's a pleasure to work with the seasoned team here to continue to produce classically proportioned wines that are the hallmark of Pine Ridge."
