Top Notes For
Tom Casagrande

From a tasting of Ridge oddities (meaning nonZin/nonCab/nonGSM), mostly white. This was unique and interesting. Big yellow fruit on the nose, with lavender and a very slight nuttiness (hickory nuts?). Very broad in the mouth, acids quite low. Seemed a little out of balance and had a bit of heat in the finish (14%). But I liked it.
