Nevada's First Estate Red Wine

Filed under: Wine

The Mojave Desert of Nevada does not make you think of rows of plump vines but surprisingly there is a vineyard there -- Pahrump Valley Winery. Boasting three red wines, three white wines, two blush wines and a sherry, this vineyard even has a restaurant to feed their hungry visitors. Recently, they released their first estate red wine deemed Nevada Ridge, a 2005 Zinfandel made exclusively from grapes grown in Pahrump Valley. Supposedly, this is the first commercial red wine ever made in Nevada which is quite the exciting turning point for the young industry. With only 1,100 bottles expected to be released the $75 Nevada Ridge wine is much anticipated.
