Amazing stuff... these wines provide such great context as we look at present-day California - as let's us see both the positive and negative "advances".

Yoon, this must have been an amazing experience. Really cool stuff. Thank you for sharing.

Can you explain what you mean by "sweet" and "ripe" tannin?

For me tannin is a purely textural experience, so I'm trying to understand what you're describing. "Harsh", "hard", "moderate", or "soft" tannin I all understand, but I'm a little unclear on how your descriptors fit into that hierarchy.

Truly insightful. Too bad the Ridge wines didn't show better; I've always been a fan. And look at the alcohol content on the labels. 12%! Like you said, Geoff: a little knowledge can certainly be a dangerous thing.

What an amazing experience! Thank you for taking the time to share, and with such depth. We can hope that the complexities only revealed through age will not be lost to impatience and solely sales driven decision making.

Wow! Truly impressive. How many people think many of today's wines will ever have this kind of future. And what's more amazing is that people didn't really know what they were doing then (In a good way). A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
