Napa Ridge 1997 Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $20
Aromas are of cedar, plums, and dried cherries. There are rich berry and chocolate flavors and a creamy, smooth balance that makes this a very drinkable and enjoyable wine.

Napa Ridge 1997 Coastal Vines Cabernet Sauvignon
- Best Buy
- $11
Always reliable and steady. Has enough fruity intensity and oaky, spicy flavors to satisfy. It’s not complex, but sometimes all you need is an affordable, everyday Cab, and this one does the trick.

Napa Ridge 1996 Reserve Chardonnay
- $17
Buttery pineapple aromas with a touch of caramel jump from the glass. Full-bodied and quite dominated by toasty oak. Thankfully, there’s just enough acidity to bring it into focus. A solid effort from a generally reliable producer.

Napa Ridge 1996 Coastal Zinfandel
- Best Buy
- $9
Another delicious good-value wine from Napa Ridge. How do those guys do it? With many Zins breaking the $20 barrier, here’s a concentrated wine with good center fruit and layers of closing flavor for under $10. Bravo! Best Buy.

This unusual blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon has clean aromas of ripe peach, toast, vanilla and buttered popcorn. It’s very fruity and rich, with nice, round, full flavors that are designed to please.

Napa Ridge 1998 Shiraz (Stanislaus County)
- Best Buy
- $10
Has pretty aromas of black cherry, oak and earth, and equally pretty berry flavors. It also has a dry earthiness that invites food. —S.H.

Napa Ridge 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $12
There aren’t a lot of Napa Cabs at this price. Here’s one, and it’s pretty nice. Has classic blackberry and currant flavors, a hefty dose of oak, and is extremely dry with decent acids. A bit rough around the edges, but it might soften with a year or two in the bottle.

Napa Ridge 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley)
- $12
Pretty darned good Cab, a softly fruity wine with some real class. The cherry flavors have a nice edge of smoky oak, and the velvety texture is easy.
