A group of us gathered to taste some Ridge wines. Due to the cursed virus our numbers were diminished, and we were left with a younger selection of wines than had been intended.
Among the many things discussed at our table, two really stuck out, firstly, *any* of these would be just wonderful to enjoy with your loved one and a burger over the course of an evening - we were truly spoiled. Secondly, to rerun the precise same line up, in a decade or even two, would lead to even more joy...
The Ridge wines were scored with each participant awarding 3 points to their favourite, 2 to their second and 3 their third. Results were as follows:
1st - 2010 Geyserville (16 pts)
2nd - 2018 Paso Robles Zinfandel (11 pts)
3rd - 2018 Rockpile Zinfandel (3 pts)
=3rd - 2016 York Creek Petite Sirah (3 pts)
5th - 2017 Syrah / Grenache / Mataro (2 pts)
6th - 2017 Boatman Zinfandel (1 pt)
The rest received zero. It mist be said though, that all of these were lovely - really nothing you wouldn't want to have in your cellar.

Lovely lovely start to the evening. Vinous. Rich. A hint - a hint of sweetness. Served from half magnum.

Lovely nose - fresh, a hint of the ecclesiastical. Palate - light, almost a hint of spritz. Not overly sweet - but good length. Returned to it over the course of the night when my palate needed cleansing from some of the heavier reds.
