2023 Metzker Cabernet Sauvignon Sage Ridge Vineyard
The 2023 Sage Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of blackcurrant, crushed violet, and dusty earth — the unmistakable signature of mountain terroir. Dark cherry and cassis lead the palate, layered with sage, dried herbs, and a whisper of tobacco leaf reflecting the vineyard's botanical character. Tannins are polished but purposeful, building through the mid-palate with structure and grip. Vibrant acidity carries the wine through a long, mineral-tinged finish dusted with dried flowers and graphite. This is Sage Ridge at its most compelling — mountain-grown intensity and elegance in rare balance, with the layered complexity that rewards patient cellaring.
