Mission Codename Ranch Life
By popular demand, today we flash back to the fabulous Rustridge 2010 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. This wine was our Wine Spies 2015 Intrigue Awards winner for Best Hidden Gem of 2015.
Legendary winemaker Kent Rosenblum has been making ripe and delicious red wines from RustRidge’s Chiles Valley vineyard and ranch for many years under his former namesake winery.
A warm Napa Valley sub-region that’s affected by Lake Berryessa, the fruit achieves excellent ripeness while maintaining varietal precision. Their 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate is a dandy, but they only made 175 cases, so you need to act now. It’s young and tasty now, but has a nice decade of life ahead of it.
2010 Napa Valley Cabernet is the best vintage on record in more than a decade. Wine Spectator Magazine loved this vintage so much that they awarded it a stratospheric 99 points - making most 2010 Napa Cabs a very highly recommended buy opportunity.
