October 11, 2020 - This Zinfandel had a nice nose but initially tasted a little thin. After letting it breathe for a couple of hours, it was much, much better. This is not for meaty, peppery zin lovers.

July 4, 2020 - The key to this was to give it lots of air. Like the last bottle it was too fruity when we opened it. After several hours it mellowed out and got delicious. It was even better the next day

May 5, 2020 - Like others have mentioned, this is quite jammy and fruity. In fact, for us, it was too fruity. We typically love nearly ever Ridge bottle but this is probably one of the more memorable “misses” for us. Just too strong on the fruity flavor and didn’t seem well balanced.
