Closed, tannic and fuzzy when opened. Even after an hour in a decanter the fruit isn't much in evidence.
The next day it's smooth and round with moderate strawberry jam fruit. At this point it's a reasonable but not special Ridge. Should have had this back in 09 like PD said on the label.

A little flat, not showing much fruit. Nothing really wrong, but nothing much to get excited about either.
