WINE OF THE WEEK:

Got a great WOW for you this week! It’s the 2011 Ramsay Cabernet Sauvignon. This is a terrific value Cab from winemaker Kent Rasmussen (Ramsay is his wife Celia’s maiden name). Here are Kent’s words:

“For this wine I reached out into the glorious vineyards of California’s North Coast and created an absolutely succulent blend made from grapes from Mendocino and Lake Counties. It was my first time using Cabernet from these areas, although I have made Pinot Noir for years out of these appellations. To tell the truth, I was knocked absolutely flat when I saw the quality of the wine as it finished fermentation—rich, fruity, structured….a true joy! The blend is mostly Cabernet, but has a bit of Petit Verdot and Merlot blended in too.”

Try this – you’ll be knocked flat, too! Just $11.97.
