  October 24, 2015 - Big open and generous nose has red fruit, cedar, tobacco and herbs. Palate is round and fresh with sweet black cherry fruit that is even primary. Tobacco and cedar add complexity. Medium finish.

  June 17, 2014 - Medium red-brown color. Aromas of a bit of cherry and strawberry, green bell pepper and olives are peeking through a heavy blanket of oxidation. Smells like it's gonna taste very old indeed. On arrival, low tannin and medium-low acidity. Flavors of butterscotch and cherry hit right up front, and that's followed by caramel corn; it's how I'd figure a low strength Evan Williams black level Bourbon would be tasting at 14% abv. Cork was good, storage impeccable but this fellow's near dead. Bottle #6 of six.

  September 10, 2013 - Tasted along side my bottle of Mondavi reserve in my wine club's '87 California Cab tasting, this bottle was better. Almost as good as the Shafer Hillside select that we also tasted. Cabernet nose forthcoming leading in to good youthful fruit on the palate. Nice finish. Four Ridge wines were included in the tasting including one Merlot which stood out with green olive notes on the nose. The Club's favorite,and mine, not surprisingly was the Ridge Monte Bello.
