Behind the Cork™ - Ridge Three Valleys Red Blend
2018 Ridge Three Valleys Sonoma County ($30) Ridge Vineyards was founded in 1959 when four Stanford Research Institute engineers—David Bennion, Charles Rosen, Hewitt Crane, and Howard Zeidler—purchased a mountainside property on the Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains. While winemaking on the site dated back to 1885, the partners produced their first small vintage of "Estate" Cabernet in 1959 and officially re-bonded the winery for the 1962 vintage. Ridge Three Valleys red blend is produced from 70% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 12% Carignane and 4% Mataro (a.k.a. Mourvedre). The “Three Valleys” name comes from the fact that the grapes came from vineyards in Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley and Sonoma Valley. Each lot of grapes was fermented for nine days on their skins followed by aging for 10 months in oak. This 2018 Ridge Three Valleys red blend is medium ruby in color with aromas of dark fruit and dried herbs. On the palate, this medium-ful

When its importer decided to move on, we tasted the wines for the first time. And immediately wondered where they'd been hiding. Today, Duménil is led by Frédérique Duménil, who unexpectedly took charge of her family's estate at just 21 years old in 2000 after her father became ill. Alongside her husband, who handles much of the viticulture, Frédérique has continued a family story that includes one particularly important decision made more than half a century ago. That decision involved Chardonnay. The family's vineyards are centered around Chigny-les-Ros
