Good match with seitan and mushroom sloppy joes. Muted nose and wine most of the way up the cork makes me suspect heat damage at some pt, though fill was good. Woody tannin on the palate with what fruit was there being red and not too candied. Muted aromas ranged from stemmy/brambly to sweaty. Even for the net <20 i paid per bottle, i wouldn't be a buyer from the same source.

BRICK RED COLOR WITH PINK ON THE EDGE. DEEP BERRY FRUIT IN THE NOSE WITH DRIED FRUITS, FIGS, AND DATES. FLAVOR MATCHED THE NOSE. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH.

Color: Pretty garnet with slightly bricking rim.
Nose: Complex nose of baked cherry pie, vanilla, blackberries and a touch of earth.
Palate: Sweet, juicy and fruity. Great length and balance with perfect acidity. Bright, zesty red fruit flavors.
This is drinking really well with no signs of decline. No hurry to drink but I don't see a reason to wait. A great effort by Ridge.
