Community Tasting Note

wlsch Likes this wine:

Friday, April 26, 2024 - PnP. Needs about 30-45 minutes to open. Dark cherry, some blood orange, loam and earth underneath the fruit. Medium body, medium acidity (leaning medium+), still some moderate tannins in the finish. Darker fruit, a lot of intensity and depth. Shows that deeper, richer Ribbon Ridge character. Seems like this is really just coming into its plateau of maturity and should hold for at least another five years. I think the AVA and single vineyard wines by Ayres are under appreciated. This was last bottle of the 2015, but I'm glad I've got some more recent vintages of this bottling. This bottle makes me think this should be on my list of producers I buy every vintage.
