Excellent Zin with a lot of fruits; blackberries, cranberries and some dark cherries. Also, spice, cedar and more. Did not know what to expect as Zin’s don’t go for a lot of aging. Happy I found this one in my cellar and have a couple of other Ridge wines I need to drink up.

I stopped purchasing Ridge years ago as I got into lighter wines. Visited Ridge Winery last century and had an excellent tasting as I remember and met and chatted with Paul Draper. — 21 days ago

Lots of underlying fruitiness still there. Oak influence seems to have diminished. Solid Lytton Springs — 23 days ago

Happy New Year! 🎉🎆🎈🎊 🧨

Excellent vintage. I think even better for Pinot than Cabernet in some cases.

Tasting great. Probably even better in 5 years. Good fruit, some earth and wood. Herbs galore, black pepper, tarragon, maybe a hint of lavender. Love this. — 10 days ago

I love this wine. Crisp citrus and oak with round pear and vanilla. Holds up well to food but enjoyable on its own. — 11 days ago

So very velvety. Smooth and delicious. It has a fine finish and a very light bouquet.

This is a beautifully balanced style of Cabernet - 14.5%abv, elegant tannins, medium acidity and vibrant fruit all make this a wonderfully drinkable Cabernet. Blackberry, cassis, black cherry, raspberry, violet, plum, cedar, forest floor - it presses all the right buttons. Long finish, wonderful. — a month ago
