Just too much for me. Jam, so sweet and strong. Better once it was chilled down a little. Perhaps better in 2-3 years but not my sort of wine at all. Bought at a restaurant as it seemed v cheap on the list..

Probably my favorite of the wines I receive from my Ridge Zin wine club. 79% Zin, 11% Petite Sirah, 10%Carignane. A little on the young side but really improved after 2+ hours open in the bottle. Very smooth and with rich, mouth filling flavors. Dark fruit, some vanilla, raspberry, black cherry, licorice. I need to decant my Ridge wines!

Medium ruby - black plum, blueberry, liquorice - chocolate and coffee, some dried fruit - raisins or prunes. Dry, moderate acidity, very full bodied and tannic, high alcohol and pronounced flavours.
Comlex and warming, another favourite of the day

Definitely got better an hour after it was opened. Decant or let it sit a little before drinking. You will not regret it.
