2004 Pine Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Ruterford
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Friday, May 23, 2008
With a rib-eye steak, mac and cheese and cauliflower. Pretty blueberry and tart raspberries. Smooth, but thin. Pretty flavors but lacks the finish of a big California Cab. Very feminine for a cab. I'd hope for more at $48.

Michael Zimberg has intuition when it comes to wine. Somehow, some way, he is able to spot the best deals and the best food and wine pairings. Mikey's wife, Jill, attributes it to a naturally well-defined sense of taste and smell, combined with a healthy dose of experience. Whatever it is, his reviews shouldn't be missed.
