  Tenth bottle of case, been drinking this since Fall 2015. Keep as a house wine. Haven't had in about 3 months and this particular bottle tastes as though it has fallen off. The fruit was almost completely gone and there was overpowering oak. Storage in climate stable cellar.

  Some friends turned us onto this and I guess you can call this Pine Ridge's value red - but nicely done! Very nice at this price point. Did not decant, but perhaps it could help - but enjoyed this with Lamb Chops. I would purchase again!

  Tasty, but too pricey ($17) for a forgettable wine. According to the label this is a blend of various cabernets (Napa/Lake County/Sonoma), but tastes more like a generic, if perfectly enjoyable, red blend. My preference in party priced/styled wine is something with zin. Not a re-buy.

  Part of a 3 wine Cabernet flight (with one being a Cab Franc) that I tried at Vino Volo. Apparently this wine is the crowd favorite which I can understand - it's very fruit forward and more on the jammy side. Everything is ripe and accessible and the way it tasted when first poured is the same way it tasted after it had been in the glass for a bit. For me, it was over the top and my least favorite of the group.

  This was tasting extremely good compared to the previous 2 bottles. While enjoying the meal with this wine, we both looked at each other which means, 'This is really good!'. Dark fruit on the nose and palate, there's a wonderful integration of dark fruit, nice oak and tannins, which makes a great, balanced wine. Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
