Unremarkable for a SVD from Merry Edwards. Past its prime, should have consumed a couple years back. Significant bricking, clear with touch of brown. Nose is very muted. Acidity is underweighted, fruit is hiding in there still, alchohol really comes out as finish develops. Nothing really out of joint, no major flaw, just tired. Somehow still elegant, but tired.

Drinking well, classic Ridge style Cab. Rich, not overbearing fruit. Tannins simmering down a bit. Elements starting to play in harmony, especially after an hour of air.
