{"product_id":"2022-obsidian-ridge-cabernet-sauvignon-volcanic-estate-750ml","title":"2022 Obsidian Ridge - Cabernet Sauvignon Volcanic Estate (750ml)","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eObsidian Ridge Vineyard was planted in 1999 by brothers Peter and Arpad Molnar, a Napa Valley family who took over the successful Poseidon Vineyards business from their father before setting their sights on the Red Hills of Lake County. The Molnars also carry deep Hungarian heritage, which led them to establish a cooperage in the Tokaj forest in 1992, and today every Obsidian Ridge wine is estate grown, made, and aged in barrels crafted from that same Hungarian oak. The vineyard sits at the northern tip of the Mayacamas range on a volcanic flow studded with black obsidian, giving both the site and the wine their name.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe vines climb from roughly 2,300 to nearly 2,700 feet in elevation, exposing the fruit to about ten percent more ultraviolet light than vineyards at sea level, which helps build small berries with thick skins and concentrated color. Warm days are followed by rapid evening cooling along the ridgelines, preserving natural acidity even as the grapes reach full ripeness. The 2022 blend leans heavily on Cabernet Sauvignon, rounded out with small portions of Malbec, Petite Sirah, Petit Verdot, and Syrah, then aged eighteen months in French oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe wine opens with aromas of freshly cut red cherry, cinnamon, and spice, moving into flavors of mulberry and plum layered with dried oregano and chaparral. Fine, leathery tannins and fresh acidity carry through to a long finish marked by star anise and orange peel. It pairs well with grilled lamb, roasted duck, or a peppery aged gouda.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Obsidian Ridge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46531298885818,"sku":"105025","price":29.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/bassins.com\/products\/2022-obsidian-ridge-cabernet-sauvignon-volcanic-estate-750ml","provider":"MacArthur Beverages","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
