July 12, 2016 - Love letting these ATP selections age a bit. Leather, resin and cherry compote followed by bruised raspberries and some menthol. Lacked some depth but still mouth-coating and pleasurable. Drink now. Paired nicely with chicken burgers with zatar, mint, and garlic.

May 19, 2016 - Fruit as mellowed, tastes of the earth with spice notes. One of the favorites from the Ridge Carignane flight tasting.

May 9, 2014 - Tasted like a nine year old Carignane. Still had some fruit left but past its prime. Dry, dusty, bramble, black fruits. Drink up!

7/9/2010 (link) 91 points(Ridge Carignane Buchignani Ranch) Medium dark plum red color; lovely, herbal, garrigue-like, smoke, red berry nose; a little tight, tart red berry, currant, tart blackberry palate with a touch of herb and good acidity and depth, reminiscent of a good Cotes du Rhone; medium-plus finish 91+ pts.
