Ahlgren Vineyards

Concentrated, with firmly tannic flavors of peppermint and red currants. Drink the '98 Ahlgren Harvest Moon Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon at the first sign of a fine soiree.

The Ahlgren Ventana Vyds Syrah is a medium bodied red wine with a fine supple palate; richly built, attractive grapey flavors.

88 PTS WILFRED WONG. Powerful and husky but not over-the-top, the ripe and wood-like '00 Ahlgren Paso Robles Syrah is a delectable taste treat; excellent with barbeque ribs in a medium fiery sauce.

The Ahlgren Vyds Merlot is a full bodied red with plenty of ripe fruit and power on the palate.

Big and blustery, this is a powerhouse 100% maloloactic (buttery-style) Chardonany; made from superb Ventana Vineyard grapes, this standout makes a real California statement.

88 PTS WILFRED WONG. For the sweet tooth, the full, berried Ahlgren is a big red for those who love their red with a decadent chocolate dessert; this one plays well for a sweetie wine.

87 PTS WILFRED WONG. Slightly rustic, the true-to-type '05 Ahlgren Bates Ranch Cabernet displays a more Bordeaux style behavior than most others in the marketplace; quite refined in the aftertaste.

90 PTS WILFRED WONG. Almost fat and precocious; the ripe melon-like '00 Ahlgren Semillon from the Livermore Valley is a tasty treat for anyone who likes to eat; great with saffron accented mussels.
