Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma County, California, USA
Intense and dense but vivid aromas of strawberries, raspberry toffee, bramble, roses, Pronounced savoury and earthy spice character of cinnamon, nutmeg and a sweet vanilla note that brings a balanced complexity.
Palate is dry, medium acidity and Medium fruity tannins, soft and approachable but still it provides a solid framework that guards the palate, well integrated alcohol in a full body with a sweet and ripe, toffee like red fruit, profile that remain its nerve and tension and is far from feeling heavy. A dimensional complexity of vanilla and spice brings nuance a cross the mid palate through a solid finish that falls a tad short from the major league.

3.4 Smooth peppery fruit Zinfandel. $30.99. Not my favorite for that price.

Ridge always wins in my book. Tannins hit you, then dark berries and black pepper. Definitely a delicious and well balanced zin.

Balanced Zinfandel with strong notes of pepper and red fruit, mostly cherry. It’s balanced and enjoyable now, but it will definitely hold good for a few years. Very good!

Lovely Zinfandel, balanced, plumy fruit, a vanilla lick from the controlled use of oak.
