Community Tasting Note

lockestep Does not like this wine:

Saturday, May 12, 2012 - Stone Balloon Luxury Brand Tasting (Stone Balloon Winehouse, Newark DE): I have been a big fan of ridge zins since first trying the York Creek and Geyserville in the mid-1980's. That being said, this is the first time in 25 years I have disliked one of their efforts. I have not had the Paso Robles in a few years,so I do not know whether this is a complete departure in style or a one time miss, but it is quite the miss. Overripe with a prune juice nose, way out of balance with tons of overripe fruit and nowhere near the acid needed. Really,really surprised at this,as were the rest of the Ridge fans at the tasting.
