Ruby Hill Winery 2009 Grapeful Red (Livermore Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $15
A miracle for Grateful Dead fans who have matured into wine, there’s lots to like in this red blend that’s got bright, friendly cherry fruit, a lick of spice and surprising sophistication. It’s medium in weight, with a shock of silky berry fruit on the finish. The blend is 60% Zinfandel, 23% Petite Sirah, 11% Barbera and 6% Sangiovese. Pair it with mushroom pizza…  — V.B.  (5/1/2012)

Ruby Hill Winery 2009 Peacock Patch Reserve Zinfandel (Livermore Valley)
  1. $25
A big Zin with juicy dark cherry and blackberry jammy-ness and a slight hint of cedar and clove. This wine is a chance to open but is a nice showpiece for Ruby Hill’s love of and prowess with big, ripe Zins.  — V.B.  (5/1/2012)

Ruby Hill Winery 2007 Sauvignon Blanc (Livermore Valley)

  • Best Buy
  1. $10
This is a good, dry, racy Sauvignon Blanc that tastes fresh and young, despite being almost three years old. Shows tangy ruby grapefruit and lime flavors, with richer kiwi and vanilla notes. The price is very good for the quality.  — S.H.  (7/1/2010)

Ruby Hill Winery 2009 Reserve Chardonnay (Livermore Valley)
  1. $20
Ruby Hill’s Reserve has the requisite pear, lemon and tropical fruit so many Chardonnay lovers adore, and its barrel influence is very strong, both in its richness and creamy body.  — V.B.  (5/1/2012)

Ruby Hill Winery 2007 Reserve Chardonnay (Livermore Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $20
Too sweet, almost like a dessert wine, this Chard has sugary flavors of pineapple custard, with caramelized wood vanillins. Could use greater balance and subtlety.  — S.H.  (7/1/2010)

Ruby Hill Winery 2007 Estate Reserve Zinfandel (Livermore Valley)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $25
The description “country style” refers to the unbalanced tannins, hot alcohol and overripe currant fruit that mark this Zin.  — S.H.  (7/1/2010)
