March 15, 2022 - Drinking more like a well aged claret. Floral, plums, currants, cherry and spice on the nose. Plum, cherry and currant flavors. Very soft leading to a silky smooth finish. Doubt it will improve.

November 25, 2021 - Last bottle of a case purchased for my sister's wedding in 2003. As expected from a Ridge wine, this has aged very well and is in its prime drinking window. Very smooth and still quite fruity, with berries, dusty earth, and baking spice. Held up well to rich Thanksgiving fare.

March 22, 2020 - Accompanied coronavirus trivia night with friends over the interweb. Hard to tell that this 375ml bottle was 19.5 years old: lots of fruit balanced with bright acid.

March 5, 2017 - Dinner @ Jenny/rudy. Marinated flanksteak. Next to the 2002. The 02 was a wine with lots going on compared to this being more towards fruit juice. It wasnt bad but it was outclassed. This still was very fresh with a decent nose but maybe a bit one dimensional. Decent finish bit lightish in style so it wasnt talking to us. I like the LS with age on it, it smoothes out the hard zin edges. Always fun to try vintages next to each other.

June 10, 2016 - Vindredi (Ridge Cellar Night) (Bellevue, WA): Sweet and overly raisin-y. A bit jammy, but holding up well for its age and the best of the vertical.
