Seductive aromas of black currant, blackberry and dark molasses emerge on the nose, with spice and toasty oak enhancing complexity. Medium-full in body, the mid-palate is marked by flavors of blackberry, cherry, tea and spice, with firm but supple tannins taking hold. The finish is long and dramatic, revealing tight, chewy tannins and intense tobacco, blackberry and cherry flavors making a final statement. This wine may be enjoyed now or cellared for 15 years or more.-Winemakers Notes

Product Review
Pine Ridge's flagship red wine offering, the 1998 Andrus Reserve (a proprietary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Malbec, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot), exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as aromas of graphite, black currants, plums, and a touch of oak. Medium-bodied flavors reveal black fruits as well as a notion of chocolate. Aggressive tannin gives the wine an attenuated finish, thus precluding a higher rating. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2014.
Includes red wines where there is either no predominant variety or the blend is proprietary.
California is one of the most diverse wine producing regions of the world. Although it has a history spanning over 200 years, it has experienced most of its growth in the last fifty years. The regions of Napa Valley and Sonoma County have become as renowned as France’s Bordeaux and Burgundy. While Cabernet Sauvignon, Pinot Noir, and Chardonnay are by far the most popular fine wine varieties, producers in the Golden State have also experimented with an unparalleled array of diverse varieties, including Zinfandel, Syrah, Nebbiolo, Sangiovese, and Tempranillo.

Red wine is wine made from dark-coloured grape varieties. The color of red differs based on the grapes variety or varieties used.Interestingly, black grapes yield a juice that is greenish-white. The actual red color comes from anthocyan pigments (also called anthocyanins) from the skin of the grape (exceptions are the relatively uncommon teinturier varieties, which produce a red colored juice). Most of the production centers around the extraction of color and flavor from the grape skin.
