Hidden Ridge 2005 55% Slope Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

  1. $75
A very fine Cabernet that combines the modern cult style of ripeness with old-fashioned structure to produce a wine of exceptional appeal. It’s rich in mountain-intense black currants, bitter chocolate, spices and smoky oak, wrapped into splendid tannins, and the finish is thoroughly dry. The grapes are from the Sonoma side of Spring Mountain, and the winemaker was…  — S.H.  (11/1/2009)

Hidden Ridge 2007 55% Slope Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

  • Editors' Choice
  1. $45
The vineyard is severely vintage-dependent, with some years much better than others, but the superbly generous 2007 harvest has resulted in this delicious mountain wine. It’s perfectly ripe, offering an array of blackberries, cherries and currants wrapped into beautifully mature tannins and grounded with a firm minerality.

Hidden Ridge 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

  1. $75
This is from a vineyard high in the Mayacamas on the Sonoma side of Diamond Mountain. The wine was made by Marco DiGiulio, a well-known consulting winemaker in Napa Valley.

Hidden Ridge 2006 55% Slope Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

  1. $40
A very good, richly tannic wine that flatters with strong flavors of blackberries, cherries and oak. It may be a little too ripe for its own good, though, as it’s pretty jammy. For some reason, the winery lowered the price considerably from the 2005, which was a much better wine.  — S.H.  (9/1/2010)

Hidden Ridge 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $75
Lots to like about this wine, from the Sonoma side of Spring Mountain. Shows firm, fine tannins and well-developed blackberry and cherry flavors. But there’s a disturbingly hot, sweet quality, the result of excessive alcohol, and also a sweaty, animal taste that possibly comes from brettanomyces spoilage.  — S.H.  (4/1/2010)
