5x5
2013 Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
Created especially for Premiere Napa Valley, Pine Ridge Vineyards 5x5 exemplies the blending artistry that is possible utilizing our diverse palette of five classic Bordeaux varietals planted across five of Napa Valley’s most renowned appellations. Pine Ridge is recognized for producing outstanding appellation-specic Cabernets, and 5x5 provides winemaker Michael Beaulac the opportunity to showcase a blend of prized lots chosen from its 200 acres of estate vineyards. This classically balanced Cabernet epitomizes the winery’s story and style.
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."
