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. — 6 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! — 7 years ago

Oh my god! What a wonderful dessert wine.
Burnt orange color with a copper hue and a pale yellow/orange rim. Color in the bottle is more brown than orange.
Immensely strong nose of curry, indian spices (as if you walked into an Indian restaurant), cinnamon, coffee, brandy, orange peel, tumurac, raisins, figs and dates.
Extremely smooth and soft on the palate, with figs, raisins, dates, coffee, sweet candy, citrus and sweet cherries.
Sweet, Full bodied, bold and buttery with great legs. It actually tastes like a liquor would, without the alcohol burn.
Long finish with a trace of brandy.
17% alcohol.
The high acidity makes this sweet dessert wine, very balanced and non cloying.
Poured from a 375ml bottle.
This is a non vintage bottle, but I held it for 8 years in my cellar, and boy does it show... — 10 years ago
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. — 10 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. — 11 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. — 12 years ago
