15.2% ABV. Really wanted to like this but couldn't get past the heat.

A little hot, a little jammy, and a lot delicious. Best Napa zin we've had in a long time. Black cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate, cedar.

big wine with petite sirah in the mix. Could still soften up a bit with another year or two. Higher alcohol than typical for Ridge

Heat was there as others noted, but had it over 3 days so the air helped. Stood up well to veal and sausage. Should get better in a couple years.

A little hot at first. Needs air. I get a good amount of ripe blue fruits. Full bodied. Good finish. I'd wait a couple years before opening this.
