1993 Ridge Geyserville

[Bucko]

Carole and I had late, late hours tonight, could not face cooking, so we ordered Pizza Hut delivery and Carole said "Open up a good Zin." I pulled the cork on the Ridge and let the hassles of the day fade away.

Very aromatic, the wine still seems very youthful. Jammy, complex fruit on the palate, moderate but softening tannins, some briary/peppery/spicy nuances, and a very long, black fruit aftertaste. What a lovely wine. I'll wait another year to open the next one.
