This is my favorite Zinfindel blend from Ridge. I like it/them more with 8-10 years of bottle age. But this 2023 drank very well young. One of the best current releases I’ve had in a while. Fresh as it was very recently bottled! 93+ in time.
Sirloin Steak was tip top.
Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2025.
The ticket to this event has a pretty big price tag. But when you consider what a Napa etc. tasting or two and lunch would cost you, you are pretty much there and there is so much more than that. It ends up having great value. It’s wine, spirits and food candy land. — 3 months ago
2016. $22.5 This producer ages its wines to the maximum maturity, that is, just before it would be classified as a different variety (reserva vs gran reserva) - and you can taste it! This at 9 years had significant secondary notes - lots of stewed fruits, some leather and funk. Almost a little too sweet, drank like a port, but balanced out over time. — 24 days ago
Production 1200 cases. Garrafeira means special selection 18 months in French Oak, dense tannins as well as fruit. — 3 months ago

No notes—height of elegance and class, incredibly impressive Etna — 5 months ago
Full bodied, but a total fruit bomb. Smooth, rich and slightly velvety. Lots of tannins, finishes bolder. — a month ago
One of my favorite ones, so fresh, so fruity, enough dry, in pair with parmesan/mimolette cheese in the hottest spanish days — 2 months ago
Good not great. Spicy. Ridgewood wine store Portugal rec. very affordable. Headache inducing? Wouldn’t get again. — 3 months ago
