Community Tasting Note

85 Points

Saturday, March 14, 2015 - Bought from the winery. Out of the gate it was extraordinarily oaky, virtually undrinkable for me, but my wife liked it. Makes me worry that I'm becoming intolerant of the "Draper Perfume", which would be bad considering the amount of Ridge wine in my cellar.

By the second night it was tolerable. Third night it was decent, spicy warm climate syrah, but not shiraz-like. Has potential, but that brand new oak needs more time to integrate.
