First Ridge answers a good question: what would Mudgee taste like if it were Italian? Sangiovese, Barbera, Fiano and Vermentino grow on the red dirt here, poured from one of the region’s most photographed cellar doors — a re-purposed red shipping container standing alone in the vines. Reviewers rate it 4.8.
