October 29, 2022 - Another great bottle of Ridge. Distinctively Ridge - brambly fruit, American oak, easy to drink. Still has some years to go in my opinion.

November 23, 2021 - I gave this an hour in the glass before drinking over next 3 hours. Plums, light in body, red fruits. I had the 2014 which was lovely a few months back. This was decent. It can still hold for a few more years but I do not see an upside in doing so. .

October 19, 2021 - Medium purple color; sweet black cherry , menthol and anise nose; smooth, well integrated tannins with persistent fruit on the finish. Very enjoyable to drink. It needed some time to open up.
