Sandhurst Ridge Cab/Merlot is a balanced red blend that combines Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for structure and approachability. It shows a dark fruit core with subtle vanilla and cocoa from light oak aging, delivering a smooth, rounded finish. Versatile enough for weeknight dinners or casual gatherings, it pairs nicely with grilled meats, hearty pasta dishes, and aged cheeses.
