  May 15, 2022 - Lighter in color than expected. But the nose was explosive. It had a multi layered finish. Not what I expected but very enjoyable. May be in a good drinking window right now. Last bottle. It has given me some interest in buying more Ledge - but he doesn't ship to Georgia anymore. Oh well...

  October 22, 2020 - 60% Syrah; 40% Grenache (label shows "Adams Ranch Vineyard" and does not designate as Syrah)
  
  I was a little worried upon opening as the nose and palate were overwhelming alcohol hot. There was definitely fruit on the nose but it was enveloped in a warm blanket of high ABV. Corked and put it into the fridge.
  
  Three hours later and I really like this. Similar to almost every Ledge wine I've had, there is a really great perfumed nose. Warm strawberry, dark cherry, star anise and a little jolly rancher sweetness; overall, more Grenache than Syrah here. As the wine warms, the nose shows more purple floral aspects, savoriness and spice. Similar palate to the Grenache-driven nose but definite cool-climate Syrah characteristics are evident with more cherry, white pepper and a zip of acid on the back-end. At this point in its life, the tannins have mellowed (still evident though) and there is a light toasted oakiness showing here. Over several hours of tasting, I prefer this with a little chill on it as it helps to mitigate the 15.2% ABV.

  October 20, 2019 - Fruit forward, with dark overripe plum, fresh fig. Surprising soft. Easy drinking but did not hold interest. Drink up.

  February 8, 2018 - PNP, drank over 2 nights. Robust red fruit aromatics and flavors. Rich, teeth-staining goodness.

  May 2, 2017 - Cherry, raspberry and spice. Calmed down in the bottle already and drinking great. Will certainly gain more nuance but tempting to keep drinking now anyway.
