Full-bodied. Dark fruit. The very end of the finish was mildly acidic. I think this would be even better after breathing a bit. Good stuff. — 7 months ago

Californie. Pinot Noir druif. De Bogle Petite Syrah is een expressieve fruitige rode wijn. Felle inktkleur met gekleurde tranen. In de neus tonen van vers geplukte cassisbessen en zwarte jeneverbes met droge twijgjes en een florale exotische toets. Pittige smaak met sappige zuren en zachte tannines in een weelderige afdronk. Perfect bij oosterse pittig gekruide gerechten met rood en wit vlees, ook bij pasta in gekruide tomatensaus met pepertjes en bij wit schimmel kazen — 8 months ago

This is a well balanced red blend from the Santa Barbara region . Visit the website for the story behind the wine . Profit sharing for the workers and training the workers throughout the winemaking process keeps everyone vested in providing a quality product . This wine is purple and ruby in color with a very fruit forward taste . Lots of Cherry with very slight hints of minerals . — 6 months ago

A few things; I still have not opened a bad bottle of Ridge, not even a corked bottle & I’ve had a number of them. First time having this bottling. I don’t drink a lot of Zinfandel or Zinfandel blends but when I do, I prefer Ridge’s style.

96% Zinfandel & 4% Petite Sirah. Decanted 40 minutes.

Intense nose of; brambly blackberries, black plum, plum, black raspberries, boysenberries and hints of blueberries, incense, soft black pepper, mid berry cola, black licorice, light barrel shavings, vanilla, melty, dark chocolate, caramel notes, dark spice, some; nutmeg, clove, cinnamon. Liquid violets, lavender and red candid flowers.

The palate shows; round, lush & juicy fruits of; brambly blackberries, black plum, plum, black raspberries, liqueured dark cherries. boysenberries, notes of poached strawberries and hints of blueberries. Incense, soft black pepper, mid berry cola, black licorice, light barrel shavings, vanilla, melty dark chocolate, caramel notes, dark spice with some heat, a little; nutmeg, clove, cinnamon, finely crushed rocks, dry top soil, dry twig, used iron pan notes, powdered minerals, liquid violets, lavender and red candid flowers, excellent round acidity, tall structure & fairly big tension, well balanced and nicely, layered, polished finish that lasts nearly 90 seconds.

Still a bit young to me. Better in 5-7 yrs and will drink well for another 5-7 after that. More new wood use here than I am used to in their Zin & Zin blends.

Paired nicely with my Allen Brothers burger.

3 years since previous bottle, very mild integrated tannins, rich deep fruit mellowing into forest floor. Aromatic, some complexity over the evening. Nice. — 9 months ago

Bold red color, ruby at the edges fade to dark deep red in the middle of the glass. Earthy off the nose. Big taste, super smooth finish and extremely drinkable. Drink now, or 10 years from now, this is great! — 4 years ago
