The Rosemount was followed not long after with a tasting of Ridge Vineyards’ Cabernet in my host’s new townhouse. The Ridge was courtesy of my friend’s participation in the Advanced Tasting Program. I left his residence sans hangover and sans label.

The wine was very Good.

I succumbed to peer vino-pressure from the foodie I was with and ordered a glass of Rosemount Cabernet Sauvignon with my Vietnamese dinner (not the fusion stuff one might expect in Northern California). Just as I expected from my Cabs, it had a nice, smooth, not-overpowering taste. Unlike what I expected, it was very very aromatic, all the way out of the glass and down the gullet.

This wine was Good.
