Still quite primary darkfruit aromas and flavors, moderately harsh tannins as well, for me, typical of the early to mid-1980s Montelena Cabernets that had some harsh, tannic edges, should live for 10+ years easily, but I doubt it will ever be charming, solid Napa Cabernets that had, and should pair nicely with some New Zealand farm-raised medallions of venison I’m about to grill. — 22 days ago

Bigger deeper notes for a Zin with coffee, blackberry, and leather. Some stronger tannins but not a total alcohol bomb at 14.3% — 2 months ago

Well-made single varietal cabernet grown near Monte Bello. Smooth blackberry and graphite. Round and medium weight mouthfeel. Less complexity given the single varietal but made with finesse. — 2 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
