Kinkead Ridge the only southern Ohio winery listed in the newly
published American Wines by Jancis Robinson. We're ticked off! They just
describe the same old Northern Ohio
wineries. Apparently a blurb
was written about us by her midwest contributor, but it was chopped!
2010 Cabernet Franc reviewed by Brian Kirby, www.theother46.com.
"I’m behind, way behind in keeping up with this site. No excuses,
although my lapse is due to my love for local wine. I’ve been working
tirelessly on an exciting, new website supporting the industry. I hope
to share the news next week (so stay tuned). In the meantime, I hope to
return to regularly scheduled programming this month.
I could be accused of sounding like a broken record, but I can’t help it
when I describe Kinkead Ridge. I’ve raved about their wines since my
first sip and continue to do so to this day. So I won’t attempt to write
any more superlatives about their wines. Just try it! And if you love
Cabernet Franc as much as I do, it’s all the more reason to get your
hands on a bottle.
A varietally-correct wine, consistent with their 2008 bottling. I’m
confident this will only get better with short-term cellaring. But good
luck not opening…"

Kinkead
Ridge featured on the cover of Edible Ohio Valley, one of our favorite
magazines. The feature story was written by Jay Erisman. Here is the
link to the on-line edition, see page 12 for the story.

THE WINERY IS NOW CLOSED FOR
THE SEASON. RE-OPENING MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND 2013 FOR THE RELEASE OF THE
2012 WHITE WINES. WE WILL BE OPEN SUMMER SATURDAYS FROM 11-5.
I just came across this in an earlier edition of the Midwest Wine
Press. It was an interview with Olivier Kielwasser, the wine director
for all the Giant Eagle stores... he says in question 6:
6. Top 5 Ohio wines worth sampling? What Ohio wines do you carry? The
cabernet and the viognier from Kinkead Ridge; the fruit wines from
Breitenbach; Ferrante’s Rieslings; Wolf Creek’s Redemption Red and White
Lies.

Cellartracker.com review of the 2010 Cabernet
Franc:
"Deep ruby red; cedar and floral nose; red and
black fruits, herbs, big tannins and good acidity making for a medium
finish. While the nose isn't jumping out of the glass like the 2008 did,
this has a great, well balanced palate. I'm a big Bordeaux fan and I'm
not exaggerating when I say that if tasted blind, I would have guessed
right bank Bordeaux...seriously. (100 views). 92 points by the
reviewer."
