2005 Ridge Santa Cruz Mountains EstateRed Bordeaux Blend more |
7/29/2016 - brentkoehler wrote: 93 pointsWe loved this wine. Decanted and drunk over the next 90 minutes. Deep and nicely balanced as you might expect from a 58% cab 42% Merlot blend. Notes of dark chocolate. Not yet at the end of the aging process, but fine to drink now. |

4/23/2016 - brentkoehler Does not like this wine: 70 pointsA shocking melange of grape juice and cherry cough syrup. We bought this from behind a hotel counter for an emergency glass of wine. No emergency can justify this bottle. Have a glass of water instead. 1 person found this helpful, do you? Yes - No / Comments (1) |
