Tasting Notes:
The 2021 Obsidian Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon opens with powerful aromas of black cherry, plum, and wild herbs, grounded by earthy notes of dried oregano and crushed stone. On the palate, it’s full-bodied and structured, offering bold dark fruit flavors layered with spice—think star anise, cinnamon, and a flash of orange peel. The tannins are firm yet refined, and the wine finishes with bright acidity and mineral tension, showcasing the volcanic soils that define its origin.

Pairing Suggestions:
This expressive mountain Cabernet demands equally bold flavors:

• Red Meats: Ribeye steak, lamb chops, or grilled venison.

• Poultry: Herb-crusted duck breast or chicken with porcini mushrooms.

• Cheese: Aged Manchego, blue cheese, or sharp cheddar.

• Vegetarian: Black bean chili, wild mushroom ragù, or eggplant Parmesan.

Its intensity and structure make it ideal for rich, savory meals and fireside sipping alike.

Grown at elevations reaching 2,640 feet on volcanic soils studded with shards of obsidian rock, this wine reflects its wild, high-elevation terrain. Crafted with precision and aged in custom Hungarian oak, the 2021 Obsidian Ridge Cabernet is a bold, confident red—earthy, structured, and full of mountain-grown character. It’s a true reflection of place, built to impress and age with grace.
