Cuda Ridge Wines 2008 Cabernet Franc (Livermore Valley)
- $28
Another Livermore Valley producer to watch, Cuda Ridge has fashioned a varietally textbook Cab Franc here, with an intensely woody, herbal nose. Medium-bodied, with tannins that are integrated and ready to soften, this Cab Franc, barrel-aged for 18 months, is really, really good, and ready to age another 3–5 years.

Cuda Ridge Wines 2009 Malbec (Livermore Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $27
A quite ripe version of Malbec, tasting of stewed fruit and packed with thick tannins but so well-structured and layered it should be even more interesting to see this grape’s potential in these hands over time.

Cuda Ridge Wines 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (Livermore Valley)
- $30
Tasted two bottles. This is a new producer out of the Livermore Valley that is starting to get noticed for its Cab Sauv and Cab Franc, and this wine shows why. Juicy, layered with plum and nicely integrated tannins, Cuda sources from several vineyards around Livermore, then ages it all in 75% new French oak for 18 months.

Cuda Ridge Wines 2009 Petit Verdot (Livermore Valley)
- Online Exclusive
- $32
The alcohol is overwhelming here in an otherwise fragrant wine with strong aromas of cola spice. This Petit Verdot is medium-bodied and very much happy to display its 18 months spent in new American oak.
— V.B.
