Classic ridge. Not overly ripe/extracted, good balance, great acidity and present tannin structure. Still a little bitterness to it, but this is Another very young wine and most likely will improve with a few years as most Ridge wines do.

Definitely not your run of the mill Zin. Classic Ridge balance and structure, with many years to run left in her legs. Approachable now, but I'd love to see her 5-7 years down the road. Firm acid, integrated tannins, nice medium-dark fruit that's very lively, but with a complexity underneath that appeals to my love of nuance.

Great all-purpose red. Had it with miso scallops, and even though it's a big wine, it didn't clash.

Decidedly lacking. Disappointing even. Maybe bevmo storage temp sucks, but then don't sell to them. Boo.
