  From magnum. Day 2. Nose with sweet mashed blackberry, forest, vanilla. Briary and earthy with savory dark berry, black tea, cranberry, mineral, oak. Finishes in balance with medium length showing just a trace of sharp tannin. Well done

  A bit pruney on the nose. It has plenty of fruit but is slightly sour on the finish. Better with food.

  A fantastic Geyserville. Blackberries, black plum, vanilla, with nice acidity and a welcoming earthiness on the tail end. Tannin level is medium, but very drinkable. It tightens up slightly on the finish with more air in the glass (I pnp...no decant). I believe the oak can mellow out some more and integrate better...but even today this is drinking amazing. Drink now - 2034. 93 points.

  Deep, dark reddish-purple in color with ever so-slight clearing at the edges. Full, fragrant, attractive nose of dark fruit aromas of cherries, blackberries & plums with overtones of floral, spice & earthy/dusty notes, loam, briary/bramble, a bit of dark cocoa & coffee, minerals & a slight touch of oak/vanilla in the background. Medium-full bodied with a very good concentration of well balanced & smooth textured, ripe dark fruit flavors of dark cherries, boysenberries & plums with spices, cocoa, minerals & a hint of oak/vanilla. Lingering finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting & extended airing but at 7 years of age, it is approaching its peak of development. Although it may hold here for several more years, I doubt will develop further with additional aging. A blend of 68% Zinfandel, 18% Carignane, 12% Petite Sirah & 2% Alicante Bouschet. It's wonderful how Ridge wines age so well.
