Still young and red fruit forward- would still leave for another 5 years for more tertiary development. Small amount of tabbaco and forest floor on mid-palate..integrates tannins. Want nicely with a good hanger steak. — 7 years ago

Tasted at the new Geyserville tasting room. What a beautiful setting. The new silver oaks are really terrific wines. I particularly liked this 2014 Alexander valley. It was so true to its Cabernet roots and should glide effortlessly in the cellar for many many years — 7 years ago

Been drinking it since 1993! Bottle was under $30. Don't believe Davis Phinney in charge, but still yummy. Try his location wines too! Other top OS Saldo and Mercury Head — 9 years ago

Jam, jam, jam! This is he best ridge essence I've ever had. Last vintage was 2007. Amazing Jame doers, low alcohol and well balanced. — 10 years ago

Had to try the 2016 vintage and I think it is better than ‘15. Of course it’s fruit driven but it seems to have more depth and be more balanced. Blackcurrant, vanilla, baking spice and some lightly bitter cacao on the palate. I think for the price this a great ‘heavy’ Napa Cabernet. A good Papillon should hopefully mean that there is a good Mercury Head to be tasted; looking forward to finding out. — 7 years ago

Would prefer to buy this 10/10 vs. mercury head, no doubt.. Could see the score WA gave it. Very good, IMO. — 8 years ago

This wine was a knockout! Full bodied, great nose and fruit and an earthy feel. Best Carignane I’ve had. It doesn’t hurt that it’s from a historic old vine block at Lytton Springs. — 7 years ago

The East Bench Zinfandel is always a step up from the Three Valleys but without the age-ability or complexity of the Lytton Springs or Geyserville. This one is just at the front end of its drinking window and will likely show more in six months or so. — 7 years ago
