Ann Boucher, formerly of Vanguard Wines, and current owner of Serendipity Wine Shop in Columbus has nominated the 2005 Kinkead Ridge Petit Verdot as her 2007 Wine of the Year. "My reasons for this choice and the long introduction are simple; the wine is very good and by industry standards is completely unknown. Furthermore, consider that the vineyards are still young and owners, Ron Barrett and Nancy Bentley, have literally and figuratively only scratched the surface of their site. Given the high quality I have observed this far, I do predict big things from Ripley in the future. The wine is charming with its fragrant pepper and spice nose, beautiful palate, and a very good finish."
