  Absolute, unanimous winner of the night. This is fancy anniversary dinner at a baller steakhouse wine. So, so, so good.
  
  N: black pepper, flowers, black plum, meat juice (like when you rest a steak), baked cloves
  T: cedar, cooked black plum, cloves, savory. Med+ tannin, med+ acid, super well integrated. Long savory finish.

  A Ridge Tahoe Weekend; 6/29/2023-7/2/2023 (Edgewood Resort): Blend of Syrah and Viognier which is a style I tend to like. My only reaction to this was just very young. Needs a lot more time to settle into itself. A bit big and more intense. Lots of pepper. I think will be very good with another 10 years+.

  Excellent Ridge Syrah with 7% Viognier which definitely added to the bouquet and flavor profile of the wine. 32 barrels produced. Smooth wine, well balanced, 15.1 ABV not overly noticeable. Long finish. Blackberry, plum , tobacco, white pepper.

  Needs about an hour to open up. Initially, clove and licorice dominate and after some time the fruit and oak elements come to the forefront and balance out the baking spices. Continues to be an enormous value.

  As usual, Ridge know what they’re doing here. Still very young.
