Is a young Ridge Vineyards Zin the epiphany of young wines?

Having the 2013 Ridge Vineyards Geyserville tonight, last time was just a few weeks ago, and what a nice young wine. That deep zin red color, that superb nose of zin fruit, ripe red cherries, zin berries, spices, cinnamon, elegant vanilla, powder cocoa, cola, blue fruits, very nice nose. In mouth, that crushed ripe red berry, cola, old cinnamon stick flavors, nice tanins, woody tannin, vanillin tanins, with a nice ripe richness but finishes with a kind of elegance we don't find in many other zins, noble american oak, more fruit berries, decent long . A very nice ypung wine. Tn: 92-93.
That bring me to think: are the zin from Ridge are the best young red wines around? Of course, the concentration of vegetal zin fruit is great all the time, but with an inherent elegance. Seems to me like they're almost the only one able to achieve that superb result.
