Pine Ridge Vineyards’ 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Fortis Napa Valley is a masterclass in craftsmanship from one of California’s most revered winemaking estates. Hailing from Napa Valley’s prime vineyards, this limited-release red combines 84% Cabernet Sauvignon with 11% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec for a harmonious blend celebrated by critics worldwide. Awarded 96 points by Wine Advocate—calling it “a real beauty” with “perfectly proportioned” elegance—this wine delivers sophistication that transcends its already impressive vintage year of 2012.

Crafted for those seeking complexity without compromise, Fortis offers an aromatic tapestry of black cherry and blackcurrant layered with hints of blueberry and spring blossoms. Subtle oak nuances add depth without overpowering the fruit-forward core, while lead pencil shavings introduce an intriguing earthy contrast.

James Suckling praises its “rich and round” texture alongside bright berry flavors, while Wine Enthusiast highlights its balance of burly tobacco notes and velvety floral tones wrapped around juicy cranberry acidity.

With integrated tannins and polished oak integration creating a seamless drinking experience today or aging potential up to 15+ years, this bottle stands out as both an indulgent treat for wine lovers and a smart addition to any collection. At 14.5% alcohol content, it strikes an ideal equilibrium between power and poise—perfect for pairing with hearty meals or impressing guests at exclusive gatherings.
