So the Wine Geek Question of the Day:
Ruby Cabernet was developed as a cross and was produced extensively for a while in California, although it has now fallen out of favor.
Ruby Cabernet is a cross of Cabernet Sauvignon and what other grape variety?
BONUS for Supergeeks: One of California's most renowned wineries prominently features an old vine version of this other grape variety in one of its legendary releases. Name that winery.

Didn't about Ridge and not clear from above exchange whether they still make a varietal Carignan but there wasn't one listed at their tasting room when I visited in November.
