  Another unbelievable bottle of this wine. I'm sure many people who haven't had it would think I was crazy for giving it 100 points, but to me it is a perfect wine. My personal definition for a 'perfect' wine is one to which the answer to the question "Is there a single flaw in this?" is NO! This is just a remarkable wine that is an honor and a joy to drink. I've had a lot of so-called 100 point wines, and I would take this wine over many of them.

  First Tuesday Ridge Petite Sirah Vertical at Chuck's House. No notes - just unbelievable. How can this wine be over thirty years old? We couldn't tell it apart from the 1990! Beautiful color, nose; explosive fruit; great body and mouthfeel; incredibly long finish. Perfect. (20/20)
