About the Wine

The 2012 Hidden Ridge Impassable Mountain Reserve Sonoma Cabernet Sauvignon is simply AWE-INSPIRING.  You will have a hard time finding a more luscious, majestic bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon.  Flavors of dark cherry, cedar and black licorice blend together to create an unforgettable palate.  The wine is bursting with flavor and delivers a dense, rich mouth-feel.  The superb quality of this SPECTACULAR Cab will leave you completely breathless!

About the Winery

Hidden Ridge Vineyard sits on the western slopes of Spring Mountain in the Mayacamas mountain range in Sonoma County.  The 55-acre vineyard is so remote that the only ways to reach it are by four-wheeler, helicopter or by foot.  Oklahoma natives Casidy Ward and Lynn Hofacket purchased the property in 1991 and began the difficult process of turning the rural landscape into a winery.  The soils of Hidden Ridge are volcanic basalt and sandy clay loam, and there are 54 acres of Cabernet planted with one acre of Petit Verdot.  

Critical Acclaim

97 Points, Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate - "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Impassable Mountain Reserve (the name refers to 19th century surveyors who were trying to lay a stagecoach line through these steep slopes) can easily compete with the finest of Napa. Aromas of pen ink, graphite, black plums, cassis and primordial foresty notes are followed by a full-bodied, opulent, multilayered, skyscraper-like, stunning Cabernet Sauvignon. It can be drunk now for its exuberance and sweet tannins, but it promises to evolve for two decades. This beauty is another great effort from a winery that remains under-the-radar for most consumers. I was greatly impressed with the Hidden Ridge offerings last year, and once again their current and upcoming releases merit interest. The winemaker is Timothy Milos, and the wines come from steep slopes on the west side of Spring Mountain. The elevations range between 900 and 1,700 feet."
