Nice vanilla and jam compote nose, which carries through to the palate. Beautiful mouthfeel, which is smooth and lithe. Mature cherries and vanillin complete a strong showing.

Cinnamon toast and vanilla creme brulee. Balanced and silky texture with firm earth surrounding more new world flavors. Oregano and mint and sandpaper tannins. A wine that is much more "California" than I expected from Ridge. Actually some pleasant acidity tying the whole flavor profile together. Well made and very complex but I think a tad over-oaked.

2014 vintage. Crushed violets, Chambord, short rib and a starchy, smashed bean/lentil (a first!) influence on the nose. Light-medium/medium body. Pastille flavors with a splash of au jus on the finishing flavors. 94% Syrah, 6% Viognier and 14.5% ABV. Back label sed the wine would “be at its best over the next six to eight years (comment dated 06.2016).” Stuck in the middle with you comment would seem to be spot on. Jokers to the right.

Fantastic, good acidity, great mouthfeel, mildly tannic. Went well with hearty soup.
