Obsessed with this wine. Rich yet fresh acidity... Bright blackberries, blueberries with a graphite inky smell and flavor. Medium plus body, nice ripe fruit, delicate tannins, medium persistence. Lovely easy drinking wine! — a day ago

Nose shows the sweet, dark floral side of cold weather Syrah. Palette is mint dusted ripe plum and spring forest floor. — 9 days ago

Yes this is actually Hidden Ridge Chardonnay. Immortal Estates who took over Hidden Ridge sold this to a private label.
$13.00.
Reminds me of the Aubert Cix I just had, seriously its that good.
This could easily pass for a $75.00 bottle.
And thats off the truck & out of the freezer for quick cool down.
Wait till it settles in a few months — 3 days ago

I’m upping my rating over last year’s bottle... Amazing nose! Popcorn, dark chocolate, dark berry tapenade, savory earth... long finish. Can’t wait for next year and the next bottle. — 13 days ago

The 1996 Beaux Freres ‘The Beaux Freres Vineyard Pinot Noir (WWB, 91) is living out the end of its life in style. At this stage the wine was radically transformed with some air, providing really an hour of tertiary enjoyment with its peat moss, wild mushroom risotto and delicate cran-raspberry and lavender flavors. Beautiful, and refined, this is truly one of the best of this challenging vintage in the Willamette Valley that I have sampled. Drink 2019-2022- 91 — 14 days ago

Pre-Labor Day festivities with friends.

Tension! Light sweetness, ripe pear peel, green-ish hay, green apple flesh, first Chenin I've ever had from OR, specifically Willamette Valley - Ribbon Ridge. — 14 days ago

Purple-Black...teeth staining. Very approachable for a young PS. Still a mouthful. Pepper, plum and fog abound. Ageable to be sure and very good now. — 3 days ago

I find Carmichael to be one of Ridge’s more elegant and lighter Zins... which means it’s still a brute but not a monster. ‘15 had better balance out of the gate than previous years. — 8 days ago

Monthly WTF wine group night. Our theme was American oak vs French oak. All wines tasted blind. We started off with two bottles of bubbly and finished with two non-themed reds.

One of my favorites of the night, and still improving. Everything about this was classic and balanced. Not overtly American oak driven but there is definitely a cooled coconut note with espresso on the nose. Dusty. Sweet tannins with juicy blackberries and underripe blueberries highlight the finish. Enjoyable now if you give it 1-2hrs in the decanter, but better in 5yrs. Thanks @Mark Flesher — 4 days ago

Mind-blowingly good. Powerful, cassis-driven nose led a silky, layered tapestry of cedar, more cassis, old red cherry and fully resolved tannins. We didn’t decant but it faded from its peak within 30 mins of PnP, so drink up. — 3 days ago
