This Ohio made wine is a wonderful mixture of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec. It's a spicy little red that has obvious red currant and cedar tones. The spice hits you as you swallow and, unlike some wines that disappear right away, this wine lingers on the back of your tongue as the bite slowly dissipates. All of these factors make it complex and delightful, especially when you find that it is being produced right in the middle of the country.Burnet Ridge is a winery located near Cincinnati, Ohio and is a product of many years of wine-perfecting by owner Chip Emmerich. His wines are aged in mostly new American oak from the Ozarks in Southwestern Missouri.
I like this wine and would drink it often, though at around $26 a bottle, I'll just have to enjoy this bottle for as long as I can.
