Red Wines

Reunion Red - $12.99
An all-purpose red wine. Our Reunion wine was created to suit a variety of tastes and pair with almost any dish. It is well-balanced, with light tannins and moderate body and mouth feel. It drinks well with anything, especially spicier white meats, pasta with a red sauce, and more mildly prepared red meats.

Cabernet Sauvignon - $15.99
Shipped in fresh from Lodi, California, Cedar Ridge Cabernet was crushed and fermented in Cedar Rapids, then barrel aged in 100% new American oak for eight months.  This is a very versatile red wine of high quality.  It exhibits a classic cabernet nose, with an earthy, dark berry taste.  Best served with red meat.

Brick House - SOLD OUT

Marechal Foch - $11.99
An all-Iowa exclusive. Pronounced “Mare-a-shall Foash”, this red is made from the Marechal Foch grapes grown at Cedar Ridge and two other local vineyards. With only three days of skin contact, the grapes are pressed and allowed to finish fermenting in barrel, softening and rounding out the tart cherry flavor of this grape. Serve with a variety of cheeses, and ham or pork loin with a sweet marinade.

5 Seasons Red - $11.99
A blend of five different grapes (St. Croix, Marechal Foch, Frontenac and Geneva Red from our estate, plus 20% Merlot), our Five Seasons Red is a heavy, earthy red with dark cherry flavor, plenty of tannins and a spicy finish.  It's a great match with seasoned steak and aged cheeses.

Reserve Red - $13.99
Our last release from the 2005 growing season, Cedar Ridge RESERVE has spent extra time in both barrel and bottle to provide a well-rounded, complex maturity.  Serve this red to your "wine snob" friends that don't believe great red wines can be built here in the Midwest.  Best served with red meat entrees.
 
Cedar Ridge Port - $15.99
As Iowa's only winery AND distillery, only Cedar Ridge Port is made from its own wine fortified with its own brandy.  This Port Wine has been held in barrel as long as possible to concentrate and integrated its profile.  It should be a great pour for the next decade or so.

White & Blush Wines

Candlelight - $11.99
A more sophisticated white for special nights. Candlelight is a well-balanced dry white wine with a buttery finish. Match this wine with any seafood, especially shellfish, pasta in a white sauce, and with white meats including mildly seasoned pork.

Meadowland - $10.99
A great every day white wine. With its fragrant, floral, spicy bouquet and off-dry palate, Meadowland matches very well with a wide variety of dishes, including chicken Caesar salad, cold meat sandwiches, lighter cheeses and lightly seasoned white meats.

LaCrosse - $13.99
A unique white wine made from the LaCrosse grape and barrel fermented. This is our wine maker’s favorite, with an incredible pear fragrance and flavor. Pear beginnings evolve to finish with subtle apricot, citrus and melon notes. Enjoy this wine on its own, to compliment an appetizer, or with lighter fare.

Sauvignon Blanc - $11.99
Made from freshly picked, chilled grapes shipped in from the Madeira region of California, this wine was slowly barrel fermented in new oak barrels. It has an incredible grapefruity nose and flavor enhanced with a touch of cream from the barrels. Enjoy it on its own, with lighter fare or with any seafood dish.

Edelweiss - $11.99
Made from 100% estate-grown grapes, our Edelweiss thrives on its lower hillside location with deep, rich soil.  This is a great summertime semi-sweet white - balanced, with nice body, exhibiting the floral "edelweiss" nose, with honeyed peach & apricot flavors.

Geisenheim - $10.99
Made from the Geisenheim grape, this semi-sweet white wine has a peppery nose, followed by a sweet, lingering lime taste. its profile is similar to that of a margarita. Geisenheim is a good match for a lighter fare (cold salads, light cheeses) or served after dinner with dessert.

St. Pepin - $16.99
Our Cedar Ridge estate-grown St. Pepin was allowed to fully mature (and then some!) on vine, resulting in a very sweet dessert wine with an intense tropical fruit aroma.  A fresh display of papaya, mango, and pineapple up front with a long soothing sweet finish.  Only 80 cases made.

Harvest Blush - $9.99
A semi-sweet blend of grape and fruit wines. Harvest Blush begins with Concord grapes picked at a vineyard in Paw Paw, Michigan, transported by us to our winery and fermented on the same day. We then blend it with our own apple wine prior to bottling, to create a wonderfully fresh, juicy yet soothing taste. Enjoy it on its own, after a meal or once the kids have been put to bed!
