2016 Pine Ridge Fortis Cab – Award-Winning CA Wine

Pine Ridge Vineyards’ 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve delivers a masterclass in Napa Valley craftsmanship, showcasing the rich heritage of Stags Leap District terroir. Crafted from a meticulously balanced blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Malbec, and 4% Merlot, this bold red wine is a testament to precision winemaking. Aged for over two years in 100% new French oak barrels, it marries velvety tannins with layered complexity, earning a well-deserved 92 points from Wine Enthusiast.

Each sip reveals a symphony of dark fruit flavors—ripe cherry and black currant—enhanced by hints of vanilla and toasted spice from its extended oak aging. The wine’s smooth texture and bright acidity create a harmonious finish that lingers effortlessly, making it ideal for special occasions or paired with hearty dishes like grilled steak or aged cheeses.

Hailing from one of Napa Valley’s most prestigious appellations, this limited-release bottling captures the essence of Stags Leap District’s sun-drenched vineyards. The 14.4% alcohol content underscores its full-bodied character without overpowering the palate, striking a perfect balance between power and elegance. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone or expanding your fine wine collection, this sophisticated Cabernet Sauvignon stands out for its refined craftsmanship and age-worthy potential.

Pine Ridge Vineyards’ commitment to quality shines through every bottle, offering discerning drinkers a premium expression of Napa Valley’s legendary wine tradition.
