Argh, this has really lost its character over the last few years. No more of that mysterious honeycomb nose and flavor that inspired the multiple-bottle purchase many years ago :-( This wine is definitely over the hill :-(

Good nose promises fruit. Overall, though, somewhat lacking in integration. Tannins are soft, there's still fruit, but some sour notes and a so-so finish make this a decent everyday wine but not something you'd want to serve to guests.

seemed a bit rough and disjointed on opening.. but then Sibonay and I don't know who else polished the bottle off before I could get another taste!! So, I'm guessing it was ok.. since it disappeared...had at chiles rellenos cooking fest

I was worried this might be past it's prime. Well it might be, but it was pleasant nonetheless. A real nice perfumed nose of black cherries, floral notes, lead pencil, and dare I say cotton candy? On the palate are rasberries and cherries, a bit sour, with nice crisp acidity and a relatively short finish. If it didn't smell so nice, it'd be low 80's.

Well-constructed, a little sweeter than I like but not sweet for a Zinfandel.

Nice fruit, but the heat and green tannins drag it down a bit.

Cherry cola. Still a lot of fruit but disjointed. Short finish.

Light pleasant quaffer. Notes of both dark and sour cherries. But not a lot going on. A dissapointment for a Ridge wine.
