Rebel Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2023
Rebel Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon is reflective of California’s growing sites, where the power of the California sun leads to optimum ripeness. Hand harvesting in the early morning hours helps preserve that ripeness and leads to excellent balance.
Rebel Ridge Cab23 Black Edition is medium to full-bodied wine with an added layer of 15% Petite Sirah. This combination results in juicy, ripe flavors of dark red and blue fruit accented by hints of ground spices, sandalwood and cocoa. Aging in a combination of new oak and neutral barrels prior to the final blend leads to a succulent texture backed by polished tannins that carry on the vivid, fleshy finish.
It is named Rebel Ridge after the place where three rebellious winemakers met. They were frustrated with the stagnant wine industry, where some global companies were driving up prices. They wanted a wine that was different, and Rebel Ridge was born.
The chief winemaker, who grew up in Valpolicella, Italy, wanted to make the most of California's many hours of sunshine to create a "new wine style that is less pretentious and more fruity," combining the winemaker's expertise in highlighting the fruit nuances of the grape with the winemaker's ability to make the most of the wine's natural characteristics, The wines express both the climate of California's Lodi region.
The Rebel Ridge series' etiquettes reflect the winemaker's desire to create wines that are unadorned, delicious, and fruity.
