Textbook #rightbankbordeaux - a riper youthful style, black/blue fruit on nose, some cigar box, earthy notes. Quite approachable palate, of course nicely balanced acidity, firm tannins. This would be fantastic in a decade but lovely wine to drink on our 15th wedding anniversary this night. Great bottle price second wine from an eminent #stemiliongrandcru estate offered at one of our favorite Houston restaurants. — a year ago
Bought from the winery 10/23, $48. An absolute favorite. Tasted vary tart at first. Decanted and let it open up. Much softer and allows the fruit flavors to emerge. — a month ago
A fair amount of depth. Medium-low sweetness. Herbs on the front, rosemary. Develops into peaches and watermelon. A touch of honey as it finishes.
Overall, a definite rebuy! — a year ago
At the vineyard for a tasting with Kathleen, Jay and Josie Barton, Jenny Rhodes. A bit less tannin than the 2020. Bolder than the estate Pinot Noir. — 2 years ago

Drank in September 2023. At 6 years old this Zinfandel was very smooth and balanced. Just a hint of pepper on the palate. Paired well with grilled food — 8 months ago

Ribbon Ridge. Bought at Vineyard 10/23, $52. Needs some time to open up to soften. Decanted. Once open, very smooth and the fruit mellowed. — 6 days ago
