I am going to say that 2015 was probably a couple of years too long for this wine when I review the notes from 2013 and my own back in 2011. Fairly golden yellow - indication of oxidation (?) - hints of oak and mineral on the nose - somewhat muddy on the palate - the citrus has faded somewhat. Drink up if you have any left.

Opened by Allred. Tried this on day 2. A little funk on the nose. Dry with notes of toasted oak, diesel and vanilla. Full bodied but not overly heavy. 88 points.

Apple and lemon notes with a nice minerality. The palate follows the bouquet with a good bit of underlying acidity. Has held up nicely overnight.

Ridge Vineyards Virtual Winemaker Tasting of the Fall Releases (Our house): Apple, lemon curd and mineral aromas. Medium-bodied, with flavors of pear, lemon, minerals and brine. Soft and elegant on the finish.

Ridge tasting at Allred's. Light gold/hay in color. Butterscotch notes with limon and nice salinity.
