September 30, 2007 - 15.3% alcohol - surprising for most of my recent Ridge experiences - though this isnt detrimental, maybe just a vintage thing? 90% Zinfandel, 6% Alicante, 4$ Petite Sirah...
I accidentally pulled this instead of '04, but this is a wine that is tasting exceptional right now...the nose is seriously expressive, as much as it was last September '06, big black berries, wet earth, cocoa, as I said before, this wine is singing on the nose...medium-full in body, gorgeous pure fruit, interesting that my notes indicate a year ago this wine was resembling a dry port - no longer, this has rich and viscous fruit, tremendous length, and for all that, this wine is very young still. Plenty of stuffing, this wine will last a while. Enjoy for the exuberance now, or cellar for 3+ more years...3,372 views
