2006 Ston­estreet Alexan­der Moun­tain Estate Fifth Ridge (Merlot/Cabernet Sauvi­gnon Blend)

Vis­it­ing this win­ery 2 years ago is par­tic­u­larly mem­o­rable for me because I ran­domly got stung by a bee on the fore­head as we were walk­ing up to the win­ery!  The wines here are all very deli­cious, par­tic­u­larly the Christopher’s Cab, which I was lucky to try.  The wines here aren’t cheap, and the Fifth Ridge was one of the few I could afford at about $40 (sev­eral other cabs I liked were close to $100).  This is a very classy win­ery on expan­sive grounds.
