June 17, 2019 - Still very fresh and vibrant at age 26. Red and black fruits, bramble, nice acidity, long finish

November 14, 2011 - I love old Ridge Zins (and I don't consider '93 old), but this particular bottle was a bit tired with not a lot going on. Still enjoyable, but well below expectation.

August 23, 2010 - Beautiful, beginning to brick, ruby red, starting salmon at rim. Brilliantly complex, etheric, deep and seductive cherry liqueur (in the best sense of the word) and tobacco nose. Great, vibrant, acid driven and glycerin-laden palate. Almost Bordeaux-like in it's red-fruited, dry, brambly, earthy, herbal, tobacco laden complexity. Deep, rich, long, superbly balanced, and delicious, this is what aged Draper Ridge wines are all about. Phenomenal with local, young, parmesan style cheese. Even better at the 2 hour mark. Will last for another decade at least, but at a perfect peak now. Bravo! 94 pts quality, 96 pts personal style preference.

June 5, 2010 - 1993 Ridge Jimsomare Zinfandel
I’ve had this before and something was off with this bottle. A reductive, rubbery nose and a woody/rasiany fruit. 14.9% ABV

June 5, 2010 - Jimsomare Vertical at The White House (The White House, Anaheim, CA): This was like night and day to my previous experience with this wine. Wood and maple on the nose. Soft and round. Clipped finish and showing some spice and tannin on the finish. Where did that clean, balanced almost minerally wine go?
