Very dark, but smooth and bubbly and not as heavy as it appears. Tasty and easy to drink like a lager with notes of chocolate. — 9 years ago
2nd bottle at Barbacoa, London — 10 years ago
Feeling nostalgic for our trip to Ridge drinking this. Wonderfully gushy with pure fruit just the slightest hint of potting soil and something beautiful in that realm, maybe petrichor. Silky tannins and just unreal integration of structure. A wonderful expression of both PS and Zin. — 5 years ago

Smoky herbaceousness, mossy maples, avocado skin, pencil shavings in a weird, carbon paper aquarium. Swim with me through black currant vapor, then dive into graphite and burnt blackberry bathtubs, strip off your camp-smoke sweater, relax in the haystack, fern and mesquite mulch, and briary arms of the cedar and gun smoke fed vinous swamp-franc!
A few friends were underwhelmed by this wine, and perhaps got tired bottles, but this one was a chunk of fiery biomass. — 8 years ago

Big, rich and bold. Lightly sweet up front and tart + spice on the back. A bit on the tart side of the spectrum for me. Tart fruits really pop! — 6 years ago
Blue fruit, black olive brine. Great value from LES. — 7 years ago
Mild with spice at end. Enjoyed — 8 years ago
Paired with fajitas, nice, dry frizzante. Tart but with acidity. A fun wine! — 8 years ago

Best buy for the buck--my white go to. Fruit forward dry finish. Good body but drinkable. So much in this little wine! 2014 — 9 years ago
Biodynamic single-vineyard wine. Estate grown Shiraz with a touch of Viognier.
Its smokiness surrounds aromas of anise and cedary oak with blackberries. It's meaty with a hint of animality, cinnamon and bacon strip. — 10 years ago
Truly, a Syrah not Shiraz from Australia. Pretty, restrained- not overly floral or jammy. Only outdone by Gary's Healesville Syrah- which is a feminine beast. — 11 years ago
