Goldschmidt Vineyards Yardstick Ruth's Reach Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Goldschmidt Vineyards Yardstick Ruth's Reach Cabernet Sauvignon 2019 is a sophisticated and fruit-driven wine designed to showcase the refined elegance of the Napa Valley floor. Named after Nick Goldschmidt’s mother, Ruth, this wine is sourced from the "Ruth’s Reach" vineyard in the Oakville and Rutherford regions, areas famous for their "dusty" tannins and deep red fruit profiles. The 2019 vintage is noted for its exceptional balance, having matured in a combination of new and seasoned French oak to add complexity without masking the varietal character.
On the nose, it offers a vibrant bouquet of black cherry, red currant, and raspberry, accented by subtle hints of vanilla, cocoa, and dried herbs. The palate is medium-to-full bodied and remarkably smooth, showcasing a polished texture with layers of succulent dark fruit and fine-grained tannins. The finish is clean and persistent, leaving a lingering impression of sweet oak and bright berry fruit.
