We tend to prefer a wine with full and fruitful nose and an extended finish. We started to try our Ridge MB a few nights ago and have been disappointed. Little nose, not full bodied and not a long finish. 3hr, 5 hr and overnight decant - same. Drank with chicken and shrimp, none with beef or other fatty/rich protein. Any advice?

I own a lot of Carlisle, a few bottles of Turley (no longer in club) Ridge, and am on the waiting list for Bedrock. You certainly seem to have a preference for Cali Zins. JR
