NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

This Pine Ridge Fortis Cabernet Sauvignon offers a nose of dark cherry, blackberry, and cassis, with a touch of clove and tobacco.On the palate, the wine is full-bodied and has a velvety texture, with notes of blackberry, cherry, and dark chocolate. The tannins are firm, but well-integrated, and the finish is long and smooth. A great expression of California Cabernet Sauvignon.
