Wow, this 20 year old Grenache was singing! Unlike a 1998 Ridge Syrah tasted recently (old and tired), this wine was young and fresh. Dark purple, almost juicy, smokey, savory, fruity, long finish. Go figure huh?!
Very Nice. ATP release.

Ridge: Dusty raspberry ganache nose. Big bodied and lower-toned than all the Zin blends. Faintly herbal. Good, but clumsy, low acid and boring for Ridge. Probably suffered being next to a number of racy old Zinfandels.

Rich and ripe with hints of smoke, prominent stewed fruit and berry flavors.
