Paid €25 for a half bottle at L’Osteria di Giovanni. A nice Chianti Classico Reserva with a good full flavor. Would be nice to find in the United States at a reasonable price. I had a 2019 in January 2026. Just saw that this wine is available in the United States in the 750 ML bottle for $40 at wine Junction in Somerville. What a great price for a half bottle here in Italy at a restaurant.  — 4 months ago

Dark ruby in color with a very wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose with chocolates, cedar and vanilla.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.

Showing blackberries, black currants, plums, cooked cherries, spices, cedar, licorice, cola, chocolates, vanilla, coffee, peppercorn, light earth, herbs and tobacco.

Long spicy finish with fine grained tannins, herbs and cherries.

This 9-year-old Cabernet Sauvignon from Paso Robles is drinking beautifully now. Spicy, rich and really shows itself right out of the bottle.

Feels Like an elegant Napa Cabernet Sauvignon.

Peaking now, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

I had it 3 years ago, and this time it is drinking much better.

A great sipping wine, but good with food too.

100% Cabernet Sauvignon grapes were aged in (50% new) French oak barrels for 24 months.

15.4% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

2018. Probably my favorite Ridge Zinfandel that I’ve had. Could be that I found it in Delta Junction and wasn’t expecting it to be this delicious, or that it paired great with our homemade chicken parmigiana. — a year ago

Nose: Leather, black licorice turning to green pepper notes.
A bit hot, it relaxes a bit with a decant. Short finish, the taste doesn't offer the depth and complexity that is suggested through the nose.

Minerality with fruit overtones. Slight grass tones on the nose with lush mouthfeel. Pleasant acidity in finish.
Enjoyable and versatile. — 9 months ago

Did not expect to use the descriptors energetic and fresh when describing a bottle of 34 year old champagne but that’s exactly how to describe this bottle. The acidity was a thunderbolt. Somehow this bottle managed to have that wonderful combination of freshness with the complexity that comes with age . A real eye opener. — 2 years ago

2005 vintage. Orange peel, watercress, dill and some meatiness in the nose. Light-medium body. A dead ringer for a comparably-aged Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars Fay or SLV cab. Def on the feminine side and a little tobacco and cinnamon on a lengthy finish. Top of its’ particular bell curve and has another 3-4 years at this station/junction. Lacks the stuffing to go farther but a very respectable showing nonetheless. Zero speed bumps and well integrated. — 4 years ago
