2 hour decant, Big and bold, oak and vanilla, dark fruits, this one is quite smooth. Others have mentioned some smoke impact from the 2020 Sonoma fires, but I didn't get that. Of course, palates are different and YMMV.

Animal notes, red fruit and American oak. Well-balanced, nice acidic profile. More enjoyable than than the ‘20 Benito Dusi. A little astringent finish.

Good bottle. The fruit is restrained and there is nice structure and mouthfeel, restrained, a bit more French. Much prefer this to the Mancini. Not my favorite Ridge but drinkable and good.

Pretty sure this is my favorite of the everyday Ridges. Elegant, balanced and well-built.
