Limit 3 per customer
A Summer's Kiss
All right, break it up, you two, break it up! Get out of the car, both of you, and let's try to be decent when you do, shall we?
Just look at yourselves. You two ought to be ashamed, hiding out up here in your car like this, especially at your age. You're married, for Pete's sake! This is no way for a devoted couple to act.
Do you want me to call your children? Oh, you don't have any children, is that it? I guess that "My Child Is An Honor Student" bumper sticker was on the car when you bought it? Look, don't lie to me. Just how do you think your kids would react knowing their parents were caught in the park after hours doing what you two were doing? Yeah, I don't think they'd be too pleased, either. I've got a feeling there'd be an awful lot of ews and yucks and fake vomiting noises when you got home, and you'd deserve it!
And what's that I smell coming from the car? Sure, it's nothing. Sir, I've been a cop for a long time. I know the smell of fried chicken when it hits the old sniffer. I'm afraid I'm going to have to take a closer look and... Whoa! Looks like you two were having a bit of a late picnic! I've got chicken bones... potato salad... looks like chocolate cupcake wrappers there on the floor board... and an empty bottle of 2005 Kiss Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon. Well, it's a good thing I showed up! With this feast, you might have gotten a cramp during your heavy petting session.
Look, don't think I don't sympathize. You're married, you've got kids, and you want to get away from it all for a little bit of some bright Bing cherry and red fruit flavors accented by earthy notes and layers of dried tobacco. Hey, I've got a couple of brats myself, so I know how important it is to, you know, reacquaint yourself with your spouse over a glass of velvety soft tannins.
But the sign at the park entrance clearly says the park is closed after ten, so I'm going to have to ask you to pack up the love fest and head home. And sir? You might want to do something about the lipstick on your neck. The babysitter might notice.
Features
2005 Kiss Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml 3-Pack
The 2005 Kiss Ridge Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon has broad, structured fruit characteristics highlighted by bright Bing cherries, red fruit, and accented with subtle earthy notes and layers of dried tobacco. The palate is velvety, carrying the fruit forward with well-balanced acidity and hints of French oak and espresso beans. A pervasive structure of softened tannins provides excellent aging potential and a long, lingering finish.

The structure and character of the grape tannins from this vineyard are outstanding, regularly producing huge cherry fruit with earthy baking spices. Meeker Vineyards try not to get in the way of that while extracting as much phenolic character as possible.
The grapes for “Kiss Ridge Vineyard” Cabernet Sauvignon come from 40 year-old vines that grow on the five-acre vineyard of Tom and Theresa Wajnert. This vineyard sits on the top of the high slopes of Diamond Mountain, where the fog of Sonoma County kisses the sunny ridge of the Napa Valley. Some of the most sought after Napa Valley wines are those that come from the Diamond Mountain appellation. Winemaker Matt Blankenheim describes the vineyard as “a winemaker’s dream.” At 1250 feet elevation, the vineyard is blessed with gravelly loam soil, 20% slopes, full sun exposure, hot days, cool nights, and a perfect breeze that blows through the vines, keeping the loose clusters of grapes free from holding the morning dew.
