August 6, 2015 - Strong red fruit, really nice spice, good acidity. Slight clove, slight leather. Lingering finish. Really enjoyable.

November 9, 2006 - 17 vintages of Ridge Zinfandel, '67 & '78 Stony Hill & Dessert Wines (Campanile in Los Angeles, CA.): The nose began with a floral leathery nose. With time, spicey aromas of clove, baking spices emerged. Elegant on the palate with wonderful nuanced fruit. Terrific secondary flavors here of forest floor, leather and complex spice. Super balance and again just an elegant, smooth wine. Clearly my favorite LS of the night.
