Decanted for approximately 2 hours. Purple back hue with glass staining beauty. This wine wine remains big and brooding with lots of dark chocolate, vanilla and baking spice and less oakiness than my last bottle. A great accompaniment to beef tenderloin. This wine is still going strong and should continue to do so for the next 5 years. Drink or hold.

Enjoyed this wine at Mac's Chop House on the square in Marietta, GA. Decanted and swirled vigorously in the glass during dinner. Inky black glass straining in hue. Viscous and thick. Big and bold. Jammy notes on the nose with some florals. Some ETOH up front which blew off with time in the decanter and after much swirling. This is a massive wine. Lush, unctuous and yummy. It continued to evolve throughout a two hour dinner. Great finish, clean and bright with a pretty tame tannic structure.. This will continue to evolve and in 5 to 10 years will be exquisite. Drink or hold...however the patient shall reap the greater rewards.

Tasted at a Ridge wine tasting at City Winery in Atlanta. This was the last wine of the flight. Pale flat red to the edge with a dark cloudy brick middle. The nose was a bit musty with hints of dried raisin and earth/dirty mushrooms. This bottle was not flawed. Little to no fruit on the palate with elements of earth and mushroom, extending into a lengthy finish. The Som said that this wine is currently at its peak however I disagree. I believe that this wine is a good 10 years past its prime.

This is a lovely unoaked chard. Don't quite understand previous posts regarding toasted oak. Had this at the winery where I was told specifically that this wine only saw steel. Peachy notes with hints of citrus. Sort of Chablis style. A very solid effort and atypical of most Napa chards.

Semi opaque purple/crimson to the rim....poured through a vinturi. Some dark fruit on the nose yet more reserved on the palate with hints of spice and and an oakey sharp finish. The wine feels light and watery. Not a lush merlot. May be past it's prime but I ha e nothing to judge it against. Mediocre at best.
