Connoisseurs' Guide
When first reviewed in 2004, we found this broad, smoothly textured Cabernet to be a wine that would reach its best in but a few years, yet we admit to surprise at how well it has fared with an extended stay in the cellar. Still solidly fruity in focus, it is a deep and supple working with plenty of life left and has taken on subtle complexity as well as the kind of polish that can only come with time. It shows nary a hint of impending old age, and, although it is lovely stuff at the moment that invites slow and thoughtful savoring.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
he classically elegant 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville possesses considerable texture, flavor depth, and finesse. Medium-bodied and elegant, it offers up sweet black currant notes intermixed with spice box, tobacco smoke, and herbs.

Founded in 1978, Pine Ridge Vineyards sits in the heart of the Stags Leap District of Napa Valley, tucked beneath of ridge of pines that speak to the dramatic geologic origins of our home and unique soils. For over 40 years the winery has become a pioneer farming and vinifying Bordeaux grapes with a focus on Cabernet Sauvignon. Today, Pine Ridge Vineyards farms a collection of 160 acres of Napa Green sustainably certified estate vineyards across Oakville, Rutherford, Howell Mountain and Carneros, including 47 acres in the Stags Leap District.
The winery’s Chenin Blanc + Viognier bottling started out as an experimental blend over twenty-five years ago and is now one of the most beloved and highly acclaimed white wines available. Original and unique, this fresh white wine blend is crafted to be fresh, fruity and easy to pair and enjoy. The wine has also inspired a Pine Ridge Sparkling wine also made with Chenin Blanc and a splash of Viognier.
