Red blend that includes several indigenous Portuguese grapes. Dark ruby color. Aromas of ripe red fruit and vanilla. Red and black cherry/currant fruit on the palate with additional notes of baking spices, chocolate and toast. A pleasant hint of vanilla and oak on the long finish. Soft tannins and well balanced/structured. Medium bodied, rich and juicy. Perfectly aged. Another solid vintage of this tremendous Portuguese value red blend. Excellent quality for the $$$. Thanks for opening this bottle, Keith S! — 25 days ago

Really tasty wine. Was a WSJ wine. Definitely black cherry with a hint of spice. Higher alcohol but wasn’t hot. Full body with subtle tannins on a long finish. Really enjoyed this one. Would drink again. — 5 months ago

No sediment, so I popped and poured. Explosive nose has super-deep, pure spicy blackberry Zin fruit. Purity of fruit is a hallmark (in my experience) of Ridge’s Dusi Ranch cuvée. There’s also a bit of clove from the American oak, but it’s pretty subtle. Great intensity of flavor in the mouth, with a soft, enveloping texture. It’s big, at 14.8%, but it’s balanced. And keeping things under 15 in Paso is challenging. Terrific wine. Yummo. — 2 months ago

Ruby color, purple edges, with pronounced aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and complex spice. On the palate concentrated flavors of raspberry, ripe plum and black cherry with orange citrus, herbs, vanilla and oak, soft tannins on well balanced structure. Full body, rich long finish, ending with fruit, vanilla, floral, spice and oaky tones. Very Nice! Will age!

The WS team knocked it out. This is amazing. Crisp, dry and flavorful. Fruity yet balanced. Love it — 7 months ago

At first I found this medium bodied, slightly creamy, with prominent stone fruits, white peach and cumquat, with a prominent minerality and slight notes of cheesecake on the nose. Now it’s emerging much more dry with air, still a long, mineral driven palate, still medium bodied, but beautifully balanced and definitely a contract to many California white wines when it comes to complexity and nuance. — 9 months ago
