ridge with dan buckler/glazer

2008 Geyserville.. from a shorter vintage with small yields.. still delivers a lot of flavor and high alcohol but not on the tongue...08 and 09 are drought years for cali

2008 Ridge Three Valleys soft and easy drinking... good value for ridge

2007 Ridge Lytton Springs.. wine of the day... juicy lush...beautiful nose of pepper and brush.. lush mouthfeel..

2006 Ridge Santa Cruz Estate Cabernet tight tight and tight... purple and tannins... needs time

2007 Ridge Zinfandel. young vine property.. color is purple bordering on brown.. juicy.. now overpowering

2007 Pagani Ranch Zinfandel a touch sherry on the nose, not sure if the bottle is showing as well as it should

2006 Montebello cinnamon and spice on the nose, lush and smooth...dark fruit long finish..nice but very pricey
