Grown at 2,300 to 2,640 feet, the vineyard's unique terroir—defined by red volcanic soils laced with obsidian—yields small, thick-skinned grapes with intense color and flavor. This wine boasts aromas of black cherry and cinnamon, with vibrant flavors of mulberry, plum, and hints of dried oregano, all supported by finely textured tannins. Aged exclusively in 100% Hungarian oak barrels from Tokaj, its complexity is heightened by herbal and spice notes, delivering a robust yet balanced profile.

Planted on volcanic soils rich with black obsidian, the vineyard benefits from an elevation ranging from 2,300 to 2,640 feet. This site experiences an extreme climate with high ultraviolet exposure, cool nights, and low humidity, fostering small, thick-skinned grapes with intense color and flavor. Each vintage is crafted from multiple vineyard blocks, vinified in over 20 unique lots, and meticulously blended to capture the terroir's complexity.\n\nA key distinction of Obsidian Ridge is its use of 100% Hungarian oak barrels, handcrafted from Tokaj forests. These barrels, with their super-tight grain and unique toast, enhance the wine's herbal and spicy components, adding depth without overpowering its natural character. The wine is aged for 18 months in 40% new barrels to ensure balance and elegance.\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\nThis structured, powerful Cabernet boasts a deep, opulent purple hue.
