  • 2007 Ridge Paso Robles - USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles (9/1/2009)
    Karen loved this which is a good thing since we have a bunch of bottles! Color surprising light for a Ridge Zin. Shows just a touch of heat on the nose (14.5%), nothing really intrusive. Fairly soft, not much tannin. The American oak is barely noticeable with no coconut. Soft, ripe plum flavors but a nice little bite on the finish suggesting a good food match. At this point it’s a delicious but straightforward Zin with perhaps a bit of upside. Still a nice 07 Ridge to drink while waiting on the Geyser, etc. (88 pts.)

I think all the 07’s from Ridge are winners - just wish I had the budget right now to allow me to go deep.

We’ve gone long and deep on Geyser and Paso with a sixer of Ponzo, a few East Bench and a Three Valley or three thrown in. I hope to have a budget for the Fall releases of the LS, York Creek and Pagani. And room for them.

I went as deep as I could on Geyser and Three Valleys (daily drinkers) - this was the first year that I really enjoyed Three Valleys. I have a special place in my heart for LS, so I’m sure I’ll end-up buying more than I should when my local retailer gets them in.
