The Wines of Cedar Ridge Vineyards

Cedar Ridge Whites




Candlelight

LaCrosse

Demi Sec
Apricot, cherry, melon and citrus characteristics with a bit of that earthy and minerally finish you may find in a good unoaked French white.  $10.99

La Crescent 
"Best Iowa Grown Wine" award given by the 2011 Mid-American Wine Competition.  Exhibits a rich nose of apricot, grapefruit, passionfruit and honeysuckle with a lingering citrus finish. $16.99

Brianna                            
Set on a prime hilltop location facing the sun, our 100% estate-grown Brianna when properly ripened exhibits a tropical fruit aroma and a pineapple and lychee flavor profile.  $12.99 

Geisenheim
Made from the Geisenheim grape, this semi-sweet white has a sweet lingering grapefruit and lime taste. A refreshing white, it pairs well with spicy dishes. $11.99

Edelweiss
A 2011 Mid-American Wine Competition Gold Medal winner and made from estate grown grapes.  This is a great summertime semi-sweet white – plenty of body, a huge floral “edelweiss” nose, and honeyed peach & apricot flavors.   $13.99

Cedar Ridge Reds
 

Lo Vines
The least dry of our reds, Lo Vines is an easy-sipping red for those not accustomed to a typical red wine.  Blended from 100% estate grown varieties, Lo Vines has a slight jammy sweetness with a vanilla and oak finish.  $10.99

Five Seasons
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 medium-bodied earthy red with a dark cherry flavor and a spicy finish.  $10.99

Marechal Foch 

This 90 point wine made from estate grown grapes is the highest rated Iowa wine in history.  With only three days of skin contact, the grapes finish fermenting in barrel, softening and rounding out the tart cherry flavor.  $16.99

St. Croix
100% estate grown St. Croix is a medium-bodied earthy red with smoky characteristics that reveal the French barrel aging.  Match with seasoned steaks and aged cheeses.  $12.99

Cabernet Sauvignon        

Shipped in fresh from a Lodi, California vineyard, our Cabernet is crushed and fermented here, then barrel aged in 100% new French and American oak for eleven months. This versatile red wine exhibits a classic cabernet nose with an earthy, dark berry taste.  This wine should age very well and is best served with red meat.  $17.99

Reserve Red
A 2011 Mid American Wine Competition Gold Medal winner,  Reserve Red is selected from our best lots and benefits from being aged in new oak barrels which impart more flavor and character.  Plenty of mouthfeel and a succulent dark berry flavor with a hint of cocoa.  $18.82


Cedar Ridge Blush

Harvest Blush
A semi-sweet blend of grape and apple wines.  We begin with fresh picked Concord grapes and blend in our own apple wine to create a wonderfully fresh and juicy drink.  $10.99


Cedar Ridge Dessert Wines

St. Pepin
Our Cedar Ridge estate grown St. Pepin was allowed to fully mature on the vine resulting in a very sweet dessert wine with a fresh tropical fruit aroma and rich, icy peach and melon finish.  $16.99

As Iowa’s only winery and distillery, Cedar Ridge Port is made from estate grown grapes and fortified with its our own grape brandy.  Each lot is a different blend from our oldest port barrels making an award-winning port with plenty of ripe fruit characteristics.  $16.99
