Lavender Ridge 2006 Mourvèdre

  1. $24
Made in a soft, gentle way, this pretty Mourvèdre has chocolate-infused blackberry, currant, raspberry, licorice, cola and pepper flavors. It’s very dry, and will drink well with a char-broiled steak.  — S.H.  (7/1/2008)

Lavender Ridge 2005 Cotes du Calaveras Red

  1. $18
A Rhône blend of Syrah, Mourvèdre and Grenache, this wine is softly attractive in spicy fruits and berries. The flavors are very ripe, suggesting mashed cherries, raspberries, currants, cola, root beer and licorice.  — S.H.  (7/1/2008)

Lavender Ridge 2002 Syrah

  1. $28
Jammy red-berry fruit gives this wine the scent of raspberry confiture. Add in a healthy dose of vanilla and the result is a very easily accessible and approachable wine that will probably win friends for Sierra Foothills Syrah. Drink now.  — W.E.  (9/1/2005)

Lavender Ridge 2006 Grenache

  1. $24
Soft and gentle, with the mashed cherry flavors Grenache is noted for, this wine has spicy nuances of cloves, anise, cinnamon and vanilla. It’s a little sweet.  — S.H.  (7/1/2008)

Lavender Ridge 2006 Grenache Rosé

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $16
A little too heavy and full-bodied for a blush, this wine has flavors of melted cherry jam, vanilla, oatmeal cookies and pepper. It’s a good wine, but could use greater delicacy and charm.  — S.H.  (7/1/2008)
