Ridge Tasting at Google

All 06 Vintage.

Geyserville Zin - best of tasting. Lots of fruit up front with a very long finish. Had a bit of earthiness that I really liked also. Paired w/bleu cheese, pair, and brioche

Lytton Chard - the only white - not great, but paired really well with the scallops wrapped in bacon...

Paso Robles Zin - had some medicinal qualities that put me off a little. I wouldn't purchase this wine.

Ponzo Zin - Very good. Probably 3rd best of tasting (after Geyserville and Syrah) (also Russ.River)

Syrah - very nice. Had about 6% viognier which tamed it a bit. I would have like a little more structure though. paired with a chocolate tart
