Winemaker Notes

Long known for our passion for Bordeaux varietals, we have expanded our portfolio to include our first wine blended from the classic and ancient varietals of the Cahors region of France. This release of Onyx is a blend of 54% Malbec, 23% Tannat, and 23% Merlot, all grown in our narrow-spaced, densely planted, hillside vineyards at our Rutherford Ridge Estate. The black wines of Cahors, by tradition and appellation law, can be produced from 70% Malbec, and only 30% Merlot and/or Tannat. It is our intent to follow the principle of this ancient tradition, with Malbec as the predominant varietal. This densely-colored red black wine opens with sweet, silky, round fresh red and black fruits. Among red currants, blackberries and cream, cola, and tobacco, is a hint of briar and raspberry tea. Experience a smooth lingering smoky, blackberry and black pepper finish in this medium bodied wine. Enjoy now or cellar for the next five to ten years.

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.
