Grapes from Red Hills Lake County. Lots of structure on top of cassis, blackberry, licorice, and cinnamon. Great concentration and consistency for Cali Cab in this range. Might be too broad shouldered for your average fruit bomber. — a year ago

First of a case of this Guigal St. Joseph ‘Lieu-dit’ 2015 that I recently bought. I knew this would appear youthful, but my god is it so. I’ve experienced this austere, closed-down nature with young Bordeaux before but never Rhône. This is a superb wine in the making, phenomenal in its presence on the palate, less so on the nose at this stage. A formidable amount of tannin, acidity and fruit with a lasting finish. 92 points is duly conservative for now, but I shall leave my next encounter with this wine for another few years and expect this score to increase.

Enjoyed of an evening with the old man. Food pairing was lamb shoulder, followed later by black bomber cheese that - worthy of note - was superb with this wine. — 7 years ago

On the nose, this feels really fresh... Bright cherry and blackberry... Maybe blueberry? On the palate, the floral side comes through... Violets play with the blackberries, but not in a big huge bomber style... Quite delicate... Some bramble intertwined with the tannin here... Bark... We enjoyed this wine so much with our Christmas beef stew... A nice length that fit the Christmas theme with spice... Memories of visiting the winery several years ago... — 3 years ago

This baby was given 3 hours in crystal. In classic ridge style the big Cali bomber came off with unexpected elegance. Red berry and supple tannins this wine would be great to watch evolve over the next 10 years. — 5 years ago

Peeling back the yeasty onion that is weissbier on day two of the mad bomber ADVENTure. Orange peel and grapefruit and even a little mustard seed have joined the procession. You can imagine the pretzel bread and pickles. It is truly a meal in a canister, for a “pounder” is a liquid lunch. Mustard-bread sensation persists on the palate with a sourdough and yeast tanginess that is texturally effervescent. Sour cream and onion are now the shadows, but no less real. Tremendous evocation of Germanic flavors in this beer, and nice secondary citrus notes. Classic weissbier, but with so much more! Super!

Dynamite! Complex and lively. A little bit of everything- minerals, herbs, meat, cola, black cherries, and pepper. With all that you’d think it would be a bomber but it’s not. Pretty approachable now too. — 6 years ago
