Stunning wine that is just a baby. If you see this and you’re wondering whether to drink, either wait a few more years or decant for at least a few hours before drinking

On the nose; lightly spiced mixed berries, some star anise, wood shavings, baking spices and fresh dark florals. Big rich mouthfeel. The fruit is beautiful. It's round, rich, ripe and elegant. Blackberries, lots of blue fruits, dark cherries, black plum, plum, poached strawberries, medium spices that rise in intensity, violets, underbrush, graphite, dark fresh florals, dark rich earth, dry crushed rock powder, soft leather, star anise and nice mellow acidity. The finish is fresh, round, elegant fruits with spices that have heat. Beautiful wine that is still young but showing nice evolution at this point. This is a 30 year wine. Photos of; the view from their estate patio, the legend and man...Paul Draper tasting and the beautiful fruit of Ridge.

Ah man. Wayyy to young. But so much stuffing - wait 10 more years. On the nose, rose petals, dark fruit, baking spices. In the mouth, some secondary characteristics, dark fruit, allspice...high acid, tannins. Long finish.

Really captivated by the nose, which I fail to describe, but clearly speak of its place, atop the Santa Cruz mountains, it's rocky soils, and the maritime influence of the Pacific. Shows remarkably well despite its youth. Resolutely black fruit, licorice, graphite, smoke and vanilla. Silky and radiant.

An iconic red blend from Santa Cruz. Very elegant nose with great aromas of currants, cassis and cedar. Lots of fruit on the palate with big flavors of nectarines, red currants, plums with a little bit of earthiness that enhances the overall taste. The tannins are very nicely integrated but do show up in the finish. I really like this wine. I’ve been sitting on this bottle for a number of years after buying it at the winery.
