Tasted blind. Dr. Pepper, berry syrup, raisin, spicy nose with plenty of EtOH. Palate has berry confiture, chocolaty oak, succulent richness and density, almost too sugary seeming like cotton candy at times. Doesn't taste like Zin but reminds me in every other aspect of a Ridge late harvest Zinfandel.
I recall tasting a small vertical of these 5 years ago and being put off by the extreme ripeness, it seems that isn't changing.

Tasted blind. Oil paint, caramel, gentle crema, and mature fruit on a soulful nose. Silky body with good acidity. Earthy sweet hay, rich Italian crema, seamless texture, and mature fruit. Dynamic, comforting finish. My #1 of the night.

Awesome drinking right now. Structured and powerful, zingy extract and mineral driven palate.
