Community Tasting Notes 7

  January 25, 2017 - I don't say it often about Ridge wines but this is slipping over the hill. Immaculate bottle with high fill, great cork, and ruby color still but the strawberry tisane vibe is faded in intensity, still a bit juicy and cinnamon/clove spice but feels like the volume is dialed down a bit. Drink up.

  December 17, 2016 - Red fruit (cherry, slight blueberry), good spice, nice acidity. Slight smokiness,slight tobacco/ leather?, slight pine. Lingering finish (close to 60 seconds). Really enjoyable.

  January 13, 2015 - Dark fruits (blueberry, cherry), nice spice, nice cassis - tastes almost like a good old California cabernet. Nice acidity. Nice tobacco, slight leather. Lingering finish (45 seconds). Really well knit. Nice herbal quality. Really enjoyable - drinking great.

  April 18, 2009 - Geyserville Vertical (My House): nose: brighter and deeper than the 1988, more brambly, but a little flat?
  palate: stronger acidity, brighter and more intense in the mought, but not as intense as the 1991. Turned out to be corked, but apparently, I'm not that sensitive to it.

  November 9, 2006 - 17 vintages of Ridge Zinfandel, '67 & '78 Stony Hill & Dessert Wines (Campanile in Los Angeles, CA.): An off vintage in California yet this wine managed show very well. There was a clear note of mint/spearmint with an herbal quality that remined throughout the night. The palate was not as intriguing as the nose with less structure as in slightly disjointed. The finish seemed to dry out and shorten. Still an interesting wine in the line up.
