Yardstick

A yardstick is an old basis for measurement which can be used as a baseline or reference point. YARDSTICK Ruth’s Reach Cabernet Sauvignon is just that: it offers the signature taste of Napa Valley but without the baseline Napa Valley price. The mid-valley is close enough to receive regular morning fog from the San Pablo Bay but far enough north to bask in the warm afternoon Napa Valley sun. Late in the day cool breezes flow north and the cooling cycle repeats, thus preserving the grapes’ color and acidity. The soils here are alluvial browns which produce wines with exceptional richness, bright acidity, and fine tannins.
