  January 19, 2024 - Had this 2016 bottle open for 2 hours .. not extremely flavorful .. borderline bland. A bit dry on the tongue with first sip, hints of black cherry. Thinking its past its prime.

It's even starting to pick up hints of a lethary complexity. Still a bit fleshy too. This one is gonna go a long time and good still get better. Very good.

  January 6, 2023 - Not a fan. We love Ridge zins and cabs, but this just didn’t work for us. There is a funkiness to it that I can’t quite put a finger on.

  November 17, 2022 - Flavors of cranberries & raspberries. Not my favorite Ridge wine. Past it’s prime if it ever had one.
