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. — 23 days ago

Served blind—called 2018 Vatan Clos de Neore! 07 is unbelievably youthful and delicious. The most singular expression of Sauvignon Blanc. A shame that with age, it’s so rare to have a pristine bottle like this. — 2 hours ago
