  Riesling Refresher 2015: Brett, leather, earth, blood and some briar. Very savoury palate, there is some red fruit too but it is definitely in the background. The structure is holding well, but I feel like this needs to be consumed soon.

  Utterly compelling at this point. Is it zinfandel? Hard to tell. Drinking more like a 15 - 25 year old premier cru burgundy, or maybe older priorat. Sacrilegious, perhaps, but there it is! It's Ridge zinfandel!! This one is all over the place and hard to fix; but, it is delicious! It is a beautiful amalgam of dark red fruits, earthiness, secondary and tertiary flavors, tobacco....ok, and a little bit of cough syrup. Great balance. I'd probably trade 1/2 my over $50 wines for bottles of these at less than 1/2 the price. Who says zin and cali wines don't age? It's the balance that PD achieved in these wines that keeps them fresh and delicious years down the road.

  BLACK CHERRIES, RASPBERRIES, AND A TOUCH OF LICORICE IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH.
