Our friends the Murphys bought this at Ridge when they were out there visiting a coupla months ago, and were nice enough to share it with us recently. It's available only at the winery or if you're a member of the Ridge "Advanced Tasting Program" (which is well-worth being on if you have the wherewithal.)It was outstanding. Very much a "Ridge style" wine, with great depth, length, and linear flow, without being too heavy, too jammy, too alcoholic, or too tannic. In other words, everything in perfect balance. Great nose of dark, ripe berries, bacon drippings, and dry gravel. Loved it. Perfectly mature, though seemed like it could hold for several more years.
