Immersive black raspberry and blueberry wrapped around a core of smoke, white pepper, and herbs. Ridge has always been one to prove the potential seriousness and elegance of the Zinfandel grape and its capacity for successful terroir-driven application.

Rating: 4
Color: Garnet
Nose: Great red fruit, with some of the black fruit and licorice that you get from the Pet.
Palate: Big black fruit supports the red fruit on top. No real bramble, the blend makes this a very approachable and drinkable wine right now. Tannic structure isn't bad, as well, despite the high Zin content, but you can expect Ridge to make a complete Zin (or Zin-based blend). Very good.
