95 Points Wine Enthusiast
This wine offers outstanding quality at a fair price, juicy and inviting in raspberry and dark cherry, with approachable structure and enduring grace. Herbal and earthy, it has length and breadth on the palate, with a velvety texture and undoubtedly balance, finishing in a bite of dark chocolate

93 Points Wine Spectator
A solid, direct style, with red and black currant preserves that meld steadily into a backdrop of singed vanilla, cedar and warm earth. Features flashes of humus and menthol, too, which provide range. Drink now through 2032.

Wine Notes
This is an energetic, lively, and bursting to show you everything is has to offer. If fills the nose with black cherries, dark cocoa nib, and a hint of baked sweetness. You will find these with your first sip with a pop of ripe plum and savory cooking herbs. Completed by plush, velvety tannins on the finish. This wine shows how well-crafted Cabernet should taste - balanced, structured and unbelievably delicious.

Redd Estate stands out as an exceptional place with unmatched terroir - uniquely situated within the Napa valley with geologic backbone of volcanic rock weathered into core stone bedrock and alluvial sediments creating iron-rich, well-drained soil ideal for growing grapes. The vineyards are farmed organically.

Don't sell your soul, but this Cabernet is going to deliver you from the temptation of buying some big name brands out of the Napa valley. This is another example of quality at a reasonable price that Plume Ridge seeks out.
