Ridge, Geyserville 2005 (40th vintage)

Deep red.

Low-toned coconut and red fruit nose. Brown sugar and an exotic peach note too.

Round, but not creamy, as rather strong acidity provides structural support. Very nice mid-palate depth. All intense cranberry in the long finish, with acid-driven structure coating the front teeth in chew.

Day 4 - Ultimately, this just isn't very interesting. Like more than a few wines from Paso, well-reputed, but all about seamlessness/textural considerations = boring.

77% Zinfandel, 17% Carignane, 6% Petite Sirah
