2005 Hidden Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 55 Percent Slope Sonoma County 750 ml

Cabernet Sauvignon at its Peak

Ready to know what all the fuss is about with cellared California Cabernet? Today is your chance to discover this grape’s stunning ability to age, without the standard markup or decade-plus of discipline cellaring normally requires.

The 2005 Hidden Ridge Cab, was praised by Wine Spectator for its “smoky, toasty roasted herb and berry flavors [that] are rich and full-bodied, showing plenty of oak and ending with dried currant, mineral and cedar flavors.”

Now, after nearly 15 years in the Hidden Ridge cellar, this beauty has traded firm tannins and decadent fruit flavors for spice, nuance, and elegance. Because of our direct connections to Hidden Ridge we’re able to offer the last 15 cases of perfectly cellared beauty at the standard release price. No mark-ups here, just a mouthwatering chance to taste the evolution of a beautiful Cabernet, without the wait.

Hidden Ridge is set amidst Mayacamas Mountain terrain so remote and rugged, their 48 planted acres of Cabernet Sauvignon can only be accessed via four-wheel-drive trucks and helicopters. Terroir this outstanding produces wine that’s just as awe-inspiring, as Robert Parker was quick to point out, calling it “a modern-day classic.”

We can’t say it loud enough: Wine Access loyalists adore Hidden Ridge, and today’s release offers more of the decadent fruit and perfectly integrated tannins that have made this wine a favorite. Whether you open this alongside a new release Cabernet for comparison, or orchestrate a dinner party for this fabulously aged red, it’s sure to dazzle from the moment the cork is popped.
