I think the extra 1% of P. Syrah does a disservice to the Zin. Drank alongside the '09 but besides being 2 yrs older was a far superior wine. Maybe time will tell, but it was a confusing wine with the PS getting in the way of that wonderful Ridge Zin fruit.

This was probably the most disappointing Pinot I've had in a long time. It was weak in body, had a descent nose, limited fruit, very ethereal/mineral, finish bitter...but mostly watered down and noting distinct. This was a $20 bottle of wine, not a $40.

Disappointing for KW compared to all of the others I have had in the past. Watery & tart, acidity unbalanced. I'll give it another try in a couple of yrs.
