Note: Tastes like what it is: a product from young vines, not very complex but a serviceable vin ordinaire with tart red fruit for everyday enjoyment . Great story with regard to the effort it took for Ridge and Dr Carole Merideth to bring this to fruition.

REALLY Young and soft. I know I talk a lot about "non-offensive" wines and folks think that sounds negative. It simply means you could pour this for wine lovers and folks that might not be so into wine and that the full spectrum will enjoy it. This is will not knock the socks off of a Zin lover but it won't hurt their feelings either. It's drinkable and historic all at the same time. I can't wait to see what future vintages present. At a minimum, this needs a few years to settle in and put on it's big boy underwear.

On pnp, 1,000 years of Croatian joy was unleashed like a Dementor from Harry Potter that sucked us in. Dark cherry on the nose. The fruit is blackberry, but not juicy, just right for me. Acid in check, neutral oak, 13.7% alc very reasonable. Above all, just the history and effort that the Ridge team and Dr. Meredith did to bring this to bottle. Worth a try for sure, bring your wand.
