When you pop one and decant and then taste you never really know what to expect but gratefully my family on Delectable has helped me so much - I know it is holidays speaking but we have so much as a group to thankful for - to you and yours - have a glorious holiday
This wine has been resting for a long time - I have decided to start drinking wines that I was storing as I cannot take them with me so Dilly Dilly
What a wine what a wine what a mighty good wine
Dark purplish red as is the season - when I taste I immediately smile and laugh with hohoho sound - the smell is amazing with all the kitchen sink ingredients but somehow I smell mistletoe and cinnamon - ''tis the season again" - and the finish is long like when you watch a big snowflake fall from the sky - it takes forever and ever
Starting my annual Christmas wine journey and again thank you folks for making the wine taste even better with your likes and comments - more wine to come tonight and tomorrow

Mighty tasty stuff! An easy drinker of a blend, soft and medium-bodied. Leads with plenty of black and red fruit notes and a welcoming pyrazine punch on the finish.

Despite being from younger vines this was far less ready than the regular Cornas from ‘01. Floral and herbal aromatics, a bit of wet dog, red currant and black cherry syrup, copious chewy tannins. Could use a bunch of time but as an accompaniment to a hearty meal it’s mighty fine now. — 7 years ago
Mighty good, right fresh. Got a menace of steel, a shimmer of the dope sprinkle-spices, a whisper of the dark places. Right lovely drinkin for my American-ass dollars. — 7 years ago

I don’t think I have ever had anything made by Ridge until a few weeks ago. Mighty tasty stuff. Went well with the pasta dish I made for dinner. Now on a mission to find more 😊 — 7 months ago
