Tasting note

2018年山脊莊園赤霞珠展現了聖塔克魯茲山脈的獨特風土，這款酒體現了最少干預的釀酒藝術。這款結構堅實的紅酒散發出濃郁的黑莓和黑醋栗香氣，伴隨著煙熏肉類、強烈的橡木和淡淡的草本香。口感中的木屑味與黑色水果和烤香草的核心交織，尾韻悠長，帶有鮮明的風味。中等至飽滿的酒體和細膩的單寧，使這款酒即使現在飲用也相當迷人，並且隨著時間的推移將展現出更佳的風采。它真實地反映了其產地的獨特風土。

The 2018 Ridge Vineyards Estate Cabernet Sauvignon is a testament to the art of winemaking with minimal intervention, hailing from the esteemed Santa Cruz Mountains. This bold and structured red wine exudes intense aromas of blackberry and cassis, complemented by smoked meats, strong oak, and a hint of light herbs. The palate is adorned with chipped wood flavors that intertwine with a core of dark fruit and roasted herbs, culminating in a savory finish. With a medium to full body and dusty tannins, this wine is approachable now but promises to evolve beautifully over time. It is a true reflection of the unique terroir it originates from.
