Unfortunately waited a bit too long on this one. i would say 3–5 years past its peak - apricot and butterscotch. Still drinkable, just nit as enjoyable.

Deep lemon curd color. This initially showed reasonable balance and a pretty and deep buttery tropical profile, but grew unpleasantly hot and flabby as it warmed to room temperature. 14.4% abv.

A rich, substantial nose of dense white fruit and meaty notes. Palate is full bodied with round fruit, medium acidity and toasty grip. Given its size, manages a restraint and balance that worked for me. Good structure and stuffing.

Wife didn't care for, but Kelly and I thought it quite nice. Vanilla and smooth butter, almost cream soda.

More food friendly than a 2006 ridge because of the apricot taste;just a fine bottle of wine
