Ripe figs, plums, anise on the nose. An excellent, smoothe texture with another 6 to 7 years of agebility. Stewed red fruits on the palate pair very well with my steak tonight, but what red from Ridge doesn't pair well with steak?

Bold, deep flavor, but not as enjoyable as I remember it.

Great tanninic structure. Hints of smoke and black cherry. Only regret is that I may never again taste this limited edition bottling.

Digging the carignane. Turkey mole (rojo) enchiladas were a good match. Also enjoyed with slow roasted pork belly over mixed greens and raspberry vinaigrette.

I'm digging the Carignane dominant Zinfandel blend. Even though alcohol is 14.2%, it isn't noticeable and the flavor is full of blackberries and ripe raspberries. The oak brings dimension without getting in the way. Night one: grilled garlic and black pepper tri-tip; night two: pan seared salmon with a blackberry & red pepper balsamic sauce.

Ridge delivers, ready to drink now but will improve for a year or two.
