An entry from Red Mountain AVA appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know? column on 30 May 2007.

Hi Agne, congratulations on bringing this article up to a "B".

I fixed some typos.

There's a sentence I don't understand: "...the Cabernets here are more structured than fruit driven." --BodegasAmbite 09:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Hmm, yeah the wording is a bit awkward. Any ideas? Essentially the point is the winemakers in this area attempt to bring out the complexity of the Cabernet fruit and all its different layers of flavor more then just the "in your face" fruit bomb type Cabernets.

[edit] Thoughts on assessment

This one seems like it is more on the B side than not. The only glaring absence is a Viticulture & Winemaking section so extra opinions would be welcomed. Unlike areas such as Burgundy wine, there is not that many unique details related to viticulture & winemaking on Red Mountain so I'm not sure how much that should detract from the article's overall comprehensiveness.
