I believe Ridge is the greatest winery in America. My long-form case is at leduwines.com/blogs/connor/ridge

Fantastic. Still young, and I'd recommend holding but great depth and balance. Plenty of fruit with many interesting notes.

Stewed plums, wet leather, mushrooms, earth, cinnamon, dried violets, umami, dill. So graceful and elegant and enough juicy fruit with great bottle age notes shinning through.

Finest Provenance available - Tasted at Winery. The color was dark red. The nose was overripe with warm tones and funky stewed tomatoes. The palate was dark blueberry, chocolate, and dust. Very little acid left with a viscous texture on the tongue. A short fading finish. A big disappointment as Ridge Monte Bello is always much better than this. Maybe and off bottle or vintage? $400 Winery Retail. www.austinbeeman.com

As good as it gets. Had this in a London restaurant for 70 pounds! Must have been mis-priced.
