From a tasting of Ridge oddities (meaning nonZin/nonCab/nonGSM), mostly white. Big nose, not shy. Floral, waxy, fresh pear skin fruit. Also big on the palate, with fruit persisting into the finish. Some minerality as well. Great balance. Everything in synch.

Great pairing for tinned fish and roasted pork belly cured with Chinese 5 spice! For the alcohol as high as it is, it really has some amazing acidity and it’s light on its feet, with a tart nose of kiwi, Meyer lemon and maybe mango? Palate is citrus driven and lithe, with lemon pith, almost merengue, with that slight sweetness, but nice minerality and mouthfeel.
