First foray into Santa Cruz Cabernets for me. These guys can make wine. The 2010 vintage showed great balance and chewy notes of blackberry with some acidity lingering. Really great. Can't wait to try another vintage. — 10 years ago

Fresh and well balanced. The best of the lineup IMHO. — 10 years ago
Great job Kevin, Jeff & co. Lemon oil, citrus, medium high acid, 60+ second finish. Can't wait to see where this goes in 3-5 years. — 10 years ago
This is extremely resonant of the Santa Cruz Mountains. Cool damp forest floor with bright hibiscus, wintergreen, and tart cherry notes. Touches of cremini and cotton candy keep me sipping. A classic. — 11 years ago

Creosote and tar with yesterday's wood fire aromas balanced by greatly refined notes of pure dark cherries and black currant fruit, with the charred oak present but integrated. Full and rich yet lively and acidic, showing a stoney profile where fruit, tannins and acidity are polished but still obvious. Toasty oak adds complexity and the spice notes reminds me Guigal's La La bottlings. Impressive and age worthy too. — 10 years ago
Yes that says 1990!!! Fuckin' cool and holding up like a champ. Aging potential of these wines has been an eye opening lesson to me and astounding to experience!!! — 10 years ago
Rhys. Pretty and powerful. So much here, citrus, apple, flinty and toasty but hints not obtrusive, orange oil and blossoms, lots of minerality for a domestic wine. Gawd I loves me some Rhys. — 11 years ago
Ridge never lets me down. Amazing. I'm going back to Jackson's to buy up the rest. — 12 years ago

Thought I'd try this inexpensive bottle, and then ended up loving it. Great crisp fruity flavor, not bitter. I went back to the market and bought all they had--Spring & Summer will be here soon! — 9 years ago
