Never came alive. Muted, drying fruit. Surprisingly disappointing.

Good, but after having several vintages of this wine, I think it definitely benefits from a couple of years in the cellar.

Intense blue fruits given floral elegance by 9% Viognier. Perhaps more like a Shiraz than a Syrah. Lots of years in this. (2010 vintage)

So smooth for a Syrah. The addition of the Viognier adds some elegance. Ridge said hold for 7 years but after 5 it's drinking very nicely.
