Forefront is a second label to the veritable Napa producer, Pine Ridge. The fruit for this Cabernet was sourced mainly from Napa Valley, with small percentages made up from other wine areas in California. Unmistakable Cabernet aromas of cassis are present, while the color is an almost opaque purple. Bright red fruit flavors burst out of the gate and evolve with hints of cedar box and tobacco. A small dash of Syrah brightens up the fruit profile. The tannins offer enough structure and poise to stand up to hearty fare, yet supple enough to enjoy as the main event. $22.99
