April 22, 2024 - PnP. Opens with raspberry, pepper, anise, vanilla, cherry, plum and floral aromas. Still has plenty of fruit showing blackberry, raspberry, cherry, plum, anise, black pepper, floral, and light vanilla notes. Medium body with silky tannins. This was very rustic on release and has mellowed nicely with time. Drinking very well now, but has years ahead of it.

April 7, 2024 - Ridge....Zinfandel....do I need to add anything else? The mellow body of this wine with the moderate legs on the glass accented by the mild tannins, acidity with the lasting finish, what more could a person ask for...a longer life. Yes, there is still life in this vintage and bottle, but it is drinking very nice now, so why wait? Even if it is your last bottle you will not regret consuming this wine now. Enjoy!

April 1, 2024 - Modningstoner. Kjølig, fin balanse. Veldig god frukt. Imponert til å være zin. Kjøper gjerne igjen. Denne holder flere år.

January 25, 2024 - There is a slight green note on first open, surprisingly.
However the palette depth and richness here is very elegant. Slight varnish and cedar. Pale ruby. -

December 5, 2023 - So drinkable now... this was being gulped down by everyone. Good fruit, bramble, structure and decent acid. Wonder how it will evolve with more bottle age... but who really cares?
