Community Tasting Note

• njc2o Likes this wine:

  November 22, 2013 - c: very young, dark, thick-rimmed/meniscus maroon/purple.
  n: creamy oak, dark berry fruit. not wildly expressive 15 minutes after opening. something vegetal going on as well.
  t: plush mouthfeel, chewy tannin. med+ acid. some coffee and tobacco supporting red/black berry fruit profile. nicely balanced. no zinfandel jam or gloopy character. another hint of seedy/stemmy green profile, which i don't recall getting out of a ridge wine.
  
  something in the 88-92 area if i had to score (which i won't, as i'm on the tail end of a cold, and this is stupid young and could use decanting)
