Doesn’t miss. On going debate with close wine friends about what is the best domestic producer and the informed part of the group all pick Ridge.

I’m really liking this one. Smooth, super palatable. But also some complexity and spiciness and a modest amount of tanin thing happening on my tongue. And I love the smell. It was $30 though

Really nice. Not overly oaky which has been Ridge’s demise. Very pure. Hope this trend continues....
