Elegant and quite pretty for this producer. Graham cracker, sweet oak, touch of fruit with fennel, anise, forest floor, modest but firm tannin and acid.

Jun 14th, 2018Definitely one of the better Zinfandels I've ever had, but am just confirming the fact that I don't enjoy that grape.

May 15th, 2017Soft fruit, very modest and balanced. Subtle flavors on all sides of the tongue. The least brooding and seemingly age worthy of the new Ridges I've had recently.

Nov 11th, 2016Deep inky color. Dark berries bouquet and initial taste. Jammy and dark berries in the middle and finish. At West Central Wine dinner.

Oct 14th, 2019I like this a lot more than expected. Drinks more like a Sonoma Zin. Full fruit on the nose - black plum, cherry, pomegranite and raspberry- becomes slightly recessed on the palate giving room for some black pepper, mint and tea leaves. Great CA zin from a classic producer.

Sep 30th, 2016This wine is amazing. It's full in body but light on the tongue. It's full of light and dark fruit. A little cedar and cinnamon finish at the end.
