Hidden Ridge Vineyard is one of those rare gems you come across that you instantly know is destined for greatness. And that destiny is quickly being achieved.
2003 Woodward Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon (Artist Series #12)
Right off the bat, this wine impressed with a magnificent nose of blackberry, cedar and a hint of spice. A full bodied wine with a smooth mouth feel, it had a wonderfully long finish. It showed everything AdVINEtures loves in a wine – balance, length, intensity, complexity and expressiveness. At 13 years old, it was only showing a slight fade at the rim and tannin was still present leading us to believe this could easily stay cellared another 5 years or more.

The story of Schramsberg Vineyards in the Napa Valley is a long and intriguing one—so much so, it celebrates two ‘histories’, and with it a fantastic blend of both old and new.

Dominus, the Greek word for master, is also the name of one of the greatest red wines produced in California and fits right in with top class wines from across the world. It gets highest respect and some very high scores from numerous wine writers, from Britain’s Jancis Robinson to America’s Robert Parker, including some 100 point scores.
2007 Hidden Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Impassable Mountain
Very dark, not revealing anything like an 8 year old in colour. Beautiful nose of blackberry and blueberry, with hints of cedar and vanilla mixed in. This is a big, powerful, full-bodied wine that was custom made for a grilled steak! Despite its size, it retains balance and does not overwhelm you. The finish goes on and on as it offers up minerals and a touch of spice. Definitely in the top echelon of California Cabernet.
