@Dave i would also try Bessin, Droin, Picq, and Gautheron if you come across them. Tribut is great value. There’s a family connection to Dauvissat, if memory serves. I also love Pattes Loup and De Moor, in a more oxidized style.
@Anthony De Blasi, I’ve never had the Ridge Lytton Springs Petite Syrah (Petite Sirah??), so no help there. I haven’t had any Ridge Pagani Zinfandel in 25+ years (I was one of the early members of ZAP, joining in the early 1990s and volunteering at the annual Ft. Mason tastings in SF during those years so we could get in early), but the Ridge Pagani Zins I drank in the 1990s were great back then and I’d guess are still amazing as those grapes get older and older!!Cheers, hope that helps!!
@Anthony De Blasi, if you’re interested in Zins, the Ridge Lytton Springs, Geyserville and Pagani Ranch are still amazing, but often need 3-5 or more years aging past vintage date. Bedrock and Once and Future (the latter is Joel Peterson’s current venture, he started Ravenswood) are great sources for Zinfandel as well!! Enjoy!
Great, thanks a lot for the feedback!!! I will check for the other references but I must admit that US wines are not that much available in Belgium. However, Ravenswood is sold at my local wineshop though
