The 2023 Cabernet Sauvignon Waterhorse Ridge is a delicate interpretation of California Cabernet—decidedly light in body but long on character. Juicy pomegranate, bay leaf, red cherry and sweet pipe tobacco nuances build in the glass, heightened by the inclusion of 5-10% stems. Crunchy, light and delicious, the 2023 is a wine for readers who prefer an old-school, expressive approach to Cabernet.
