TN: 1989 Ridge Merlot Bradford Mountain

Bree

Allan Bree
Light and lilting cherry fruit in the nose with background notes of well integrated oak soft and friendly entry, like shaking hands with an old friend lithe and supple in the mouth with sweetly ripe fruit flavors, a light acid backbone and enough smooth tannin to keep it all interesting. Lively spice and leather aromas develop with time the mouthfeel gains some depth and the finish lengthens, never losing its clean fade.

An absolutely lovely bottle of wine and a pure pleasure to drink.
 
Other than the Mataro I posted on, I've been absolutely disgusted by the Ridges of that vintage I've had lately.

Of course. However, I am only interested if they make you hurl.
