Clearly more traditional CA style. Riper Richer and Rounder than others. Not my favorite but if you want something less acid driven than the rest of the lineup. This is for you. Sold out super quick so kind of a one off wine.

Rich Black fruit and cedar and cigarbox with black pepper on the nose. Same on the palate with nice layers of piper and smoke. Fine resolved tannins on the finish. Another awesome of bottle of Ridge. Its drinking amazing with significant life ahead of it. I don't see why this why wont easily go another 10+ years. Cork was in OK condition.
