November 24, 2022 - Last of a case purchased back on release. Holding up very well. Served with traditional Thanksgiving meal. Brambly red fruit and black pepper. Still light on its feet with great balance. Always a treat and over delivers.

April 15, 2022 - Perplexing... similar to my 7/20/2021 TN. Slightly orange rim, lighter in style. Some sweet raspberries on the nose. Fruit seemed a bit dry with a spicy character. Medium finish. Tasted a decade older than 2012...
Interestingly, none of the seven other blind tasters identified this as Zin - guesses ranged from older Barolo to Chianti Classic Res.... -

November 25, 2021 - Thanksgiving Dinner with the B Family (Their House): Slo-oxed for 30 minutes with some sediment. Red fruit and spice on the nose. These carry over to the medium bodied palate along with a modest earthy component and balancing acidity. Enjoyed with the main course for Thanksgiving dinner. This wine should easily make the decade mark.

August 7, 2021 - A totally different wine! Still has a lighter color with a touch of brown at the edge, with nice dried cherries and a bit of earth on the nose. On the palate this bottle exploded with brambleberry and raspberries. Fairly deep albeit still medium bodied, this harkened back to older Ridge Zins that I've loved. Can't wait for the next bottle!
