70% merlot, 15 cabernet sauvignon, 15% cabernet franc. Good wine for the price-simple yet very drinkable. Good with red meat. 1 Note

This Cabernet Franc is outstanding even among it's Californian and French competitors. When I tasted this wine about a week ago, I thought it was brilliant then, but last night was a revelation. This ruby red wine's aroma is an awesome combination of black cherry, oak, and a nose full of cloves and floral accents. Flavors are bold and intense with black cherry, oak, tobacco, and cloves. It's aged in French and American oak over 18 months. Vintage Ridge considers themselves to be a micro-winery focusing only on small lots of hand-crafted wines. When you go to the winery to taste, they seat you down at a table to try each wine paired with a plate of food ranging from sausages to dates filled with goat creme cheese. It's an awesome experience and ALL of their wines are outstanding. 1 Note

Called Alouette by the winery, the 2008 earned a solid 87 points by Wine Enthusiast. Complex with chocolate, blackcherry, toast, and caramel on the finish. Great for steaks and an after dinner cigar or chocolates. $26 1 Note

With notes of rasberry, strawberry and plum, this little palate pleaser is a great aperitif before dinner and a hot summer's day refresher. France still reigns as the best Rose's in my opinion. I think the only others that are better than this Loire gem are from Tavel and Provence. Very much recommended. $10
