March 4, 2019 - Waited too long on this one -- lots of primary flavors and the typical Mazzoni fruit that I so enjoy is mostly gone. However, it will go great with tonight's steak. Nose is like a port, initial taste is alcohol and prune, medium finish with some vanilla.

June 18, 2017 - This wine was on fire tonight! Scorched sweet red cherries, licorice, smoke, velvet. Yum. This is why I love Ridge. Perfect time to drink this.

October 4, 2015 - One more bottle of solid Ridge Zin. Decanted shortly before drinking. In the glass, strong nose of forest floor, red fruit, and black pepper. Purple berries with a medium finish. The relatively heavy dose of Carignane in the blend was evident in some pleasant tartness. Drink up. Very nice food pairing with pan-fried spicy Cajun catfish with dirty rice.

December 30, 2014 - Still drinkable but past its prime window by several years. Nice bramble on the nose at first that sadly went away. Dried plums and raisins on the palate. 2004 also tasted recently held up better but both were still good. My fault for waiting too long to drink them.
