Tried the new realease 2013 at Ridge yesterday and decided to have a bottle early. Lovely ripe plum and blackberry with sweet spice. Already good and look forward to trying as it ages more.

Wild berries and plums and oddly enough, some tropical notes of mango along with dried apricot. Juicy and layered.

Big and ripe for Ridge, but hey, it's Paso. Nice for the style.

Red roses, cherries, hint of cocoa. On the palate, a little sweetness and a bit if cherry put.

Wow is this tasting great at 9 years. Much more spice, cocoa, and not a lot of heat despite 15%. So much good fruit with plum and chocolate covered cherries. Also some anise and blackberry jam. So much flavor.

A year or two past its prime, but still shows the beauty of Ridge. Ripe blueberries, blackberries and spice with surprising balance for 14.8 ABV
