Cougar Ridge 1999 Chardonnay

  1. $13
Smells super-oaky, with charcoal and smoke aromas dominating the underlying fruit. Those flavors are pretty thin, suggesting peaches and apples. Extremely dry and tart, with hefty acids, but it’s clean and refreshing. —S.H.  — S.H.  (2/1/2003)

Cougar Ridge 1999 Merlot (Paso Robles)

  1. $18
The raisiny, pruny aromas are almost Port-like, and it’s thick and soft. Completely dry, with rasping tannins and tart acids. —S.H.  — S.H.  (4/1/2003)

Cougar Ridge 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Paso Robles)

  1. $18
Rough going here. Opens with earth, cardboard and Port-like blackberry aromas, and turns tannic and tart in the mouth. Might soften with age.—S.H.  — S.H.  (4/1/2003)
