Rather dusty, and a nice balanced wine. Surprisingly young given it's 15 years old. Notes of cocoa and baking spices along with the purple fruit. Another excellent wine from Ridge!

Bright and fresh. Beautiful balance of fruit and spice. Wears the alcohol very well. Nuanced and food friendly. Another expertly crafted Zin from Ridge.

While probably very slightly past peak, this was still an immensely enjoyable bottle of wine. Nose of black licorice, oak spice, earth. Can't stres how beautiful the nose was. med bodied on the palate and still packing somewhat of the fruit it had a few years ago, though smoothed out quite a bit. Acidity and a little spice on the back end with tannins completely and fully integrated. Med length finish. Love seeing how Ridge wines evolve over the years.

Past it's peak but still aging gracefully. Dusi character still evident.

Drinking very well now. Varietally correct, attractively showing some age and some raisiny character.
