Tasted 2/26/2012. Retail ~$30. I paid $5 in a private sale. This is a bottle that I got from a guy who sold off his entire collection after he was diagnosed with a health problem that made drinking wine out of the question (talk about a major bummer). A buddy and I bought all that he had left for a fixed price which worked out to about $5 a bottle. A lot of old cabs and a few of these older Ridge Zins. This wine still had tons of fruit and nice balance. Not much left on the back end (the tannins seem to be completely integrated), but a very pleasant wine that went very nicely with the filet mignon that I fired up on the grill. Very Good.
