@Tom Casagrande Indeed.
@Dave, bravo my man!! The other advice you received is also great!! I think Pagani vs. Lytton Springs vs. Geyserville vs. any other Ridge Zin is often vintage, since they’re all blends!! (In fact, Geyserville never (mostly?) never says Zinfandel on the label since it very rarely (never?) is at least 75% Zinfandel, which is the CA requirement for varietal name on the label.
Thanks for the education! @Doug Powers

Yumyumyumyum ad infinitum!
@Dave - Two weeks worth of wines notes disappeared from my page too. But I was curious if they had completely disappeared or just from my page. So I searched for a couple of them, and turns out they’re still somewhere on the app. Just not on my page.
Yeah I see that. I should have known. @Tom Casagrande

Day 1 of this year's Smallmouth Smackdown has begun. After 7 hours on the boat, and a dozen bass, it's time to crack into some libations (had a few PBR's on the boat).
This is a lush Zin. Concentrated fruit, but savory and chewy. Blackberry, blood orange, cigar box, and enough structure to age much longer. This is my 3rd Ridge Zin, and I'd have to say I still favor the Pagani Ranch.
