Unlike others I find this aging beautifully. Has been stored in my roving cellar since purchase & wine is at its prime. Deep dark color, thick mouthfeel & long finish. Nose of baked cherry pie, cloves, tea, earth. Structured palate with meat, leather & earth over that cherry pie. Well balanced, solid tannins, Classic York creek.

Good brightness, fruit, and backbone. Well structured and rounded at 13 years old.

Dissapointing. I am surprised, this wine seems past it's prime, after only 10 years.

One of the rare occasions I found a Ridge wine to be a bit past its prime. Good, but better to drink earlier in its life.

Decanted several hours. Decent fruit without a great nose or complexity. Tannins and alcohol absent. Does not hold up to spicy foods - not a big zin.
