Simpson Ridge

2013 Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon

The 2013 Martin Ray Simpson Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon is a stunning red wine hailing from the illustrious Dry Creek Valley in Sonoma County. This exceptional offering showcases a full-bodied character, beautifully complemented by vibrant acidity that enlivens the palate. The fruit intensity is pronounced, revealing luscious notes of dark cherry, blackcurrant, and a hint of ripe plum, enhanced by subtle layers of vanilla and baking spices from oak aging. Tannins are notably firm, providing structure and a graceful aging potential, while the wine’s dryness ensures a crisp finish that invites another sip. This Cabernet Sauvignon is an impressive representation of its region, offering a delightful experience for both casual drinkers and aficionados alike.
