Overlooking the majestic slopes of the Santa Cruz Mountains, nearly sixty miles south of San Francisco and only three miles outside of downtown Los Gatos, lie eighty pristine acres forming Black Ridge Vineyards. Here, the estate's elevation and geographic orientation is ideal for protection from the harsh coastal winds and lingering fog to receive a full day of sun. The vineyard microclimate also benefits from the Lexington Reservoir half a mile below. These perfect growing conditions are instrumental in producing high-quality, highly approachable wines.

Winemaker Bill Brosseau
The inherent, discernible attributes of our vineyard are reflected in each of our wines. Our rich, floral whites and our concentrated, decadent reds are great representations of what our vineyard has to offer now and shows promise as to what it holds for the future. With the tremendous efforts and attentiveness of vineyard manager Ruben Balderas and winemaker Bill Brosseau, along with the devotion and support from the rest of the Black Ridge team, we proudly present to you our very first release of Black Ridge Wine. We hope you enjoy our wines as much as we enjoyed the entire process of getting our grapes into your glass.

Salud!

2008 Pinot Noir
  • Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains
  • Winemaker: Bill Brosseau
  • Deep red color. Intense aromas of vanilla, blueberry, clove, and baked cherry unite in this complex Pinot Noir. Flavors of cherry and clove sail into the palate and are framed by silky mouth-feel, fine grain tannins, and vibrant acidity. This wine finishes with a firm, restrained touch, lending it to extended aging. Drink now through 2018.

    2007 San Andreas Red
  • Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains
  • Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, Malbec
  • Winemaker: Bill Brosseau
  • Deep red color. This wine opens up nicely with hints of cherry, anise, and cocoa. Upon taste, anise, cocoa, blackberry, and vanilla bean carry seamlessly through the palate and are matched by fine grain tannins as well as ample richness. What makes this red blend interesting is its refreshing acidity which allows it to be extremely food friendly. The wine ends well with a nice spicy and long finish. Drink now through 2017.

    2009 Viognier
  • Appellation: Santa Cruz Mountains
  • Winemaker: Bill Brosseau
  • Medium yellow color. This wine opens up nicely with aromas of white peach, banana, mango, apricot, and orange blossom. Upon taste, notes of mango, white peach and apricot continue through the palate. While the texture is young, austere, and restrained, it shows great structure, while finishing fresh and focused. Drink now through 2013.
