  Ditto William’s note below. Very enjoyable and drinking at its peak right now.

  Ridge's 2010 Dusi Ranch Zinfandel is at its peak today, bursting from the glass with all the generous blackberry fruit that's so typical of this site, its élevage at this stage beautifully integrated into the background. Medium to full-bodied, ample and enveloping, with melting tannins and tangy animating acids, it's a delicious bottle that's characterful without being complex.

  Incredibly smooth and well integrated. Oak on the finish. Really nice wine and I would drink it now. We were all very impressed with it.

  I agree with ALRO's note. I believe this is the bottle's last peak year if it has been well stored. It paired beautifully with a meal of braised short ribs with a tangy sauce. Long finish with interesting notes embedded within. Drink up soon to enjoy fully. Note: I double decanted, 30 min initially in a decanter and then back into the bottle to take to a friend's house for the braised ribs. It was ready to go and then held up through the evening over 3 hours.

  Even in a 20 year old cab I’ve never seen so much sediment. I let it breathe 45 minutes and as the label says, “the acidity is unusually firm”. Went fine with elk burgers, but not my favorite Ridge zin.
