A yardstick is a basis for measurement which can be used as a baseline or reference point. Named for my younger sister Ruth, YARDSTICK Ruth’s Reach Cabernet Sauvignon offers the signature quality of Napa Valley without the high Napa Valley price. This vineyard is far enough south to receive regular morning fog from the San Pablo Bay, but far enough north to bask in the warm afternoon sun. The alluvial brown soil produces wine that is exceptionally rich with bright acidity and fine tannins.
