Hard to not drink young…ripe, complex, balanced. I admit to loving Zinfandel with food, and Ridge is right at the top. Blackberry, cherry, plum…noticeably tannic, but works like a charm with my renowned six-hour pasta fagiole and a healthy slug of quintarelli olive oil. Zin and pasta, zin and burgers, zin and ribs…just YUM! — 23 days ago

Great blue and black fruit with a nice pop. Smooth. Some structure. Not jammy. Overall winner — 16 days ago

Round five of blind tasting and we all missed on this. I think a Zinfandel blend is cruel. I swore this was a Sonoma Cab… all those blended varieties proved tricky and the Zinfandel doesn’t stand out on its own. Dark ruby red with dark over ripened and jammy fruits. Smells hot. Also VANILLA. Say that five times. Has some nice bell pepper and green notes, some eucalyptus, balsamic, and a touch of mint. Low tannic levels, moderate acid and body. It’s delicious but tripped us up. — 10 days ago

Love this Zin even 3 days after opening. Have ti buy it again! Rich fruity flavor without being too dense or dry. — 3 days ago

Great wine for a cold winter’s night. 16.1% to ‘warm the soul’, although the heat was not prevalent. Excellent fruit. Do not drink in months without an “r”. 😎 — 9 days ago

Blend of 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 11% Merlot and 1% Petit Verdot, from Monte Bello Vineyard, deep Ruby with purple edges, aromas of dark berry fruits, sweet spice and toasty oak. On the palate flavors of blackberry, black cherry and ripe blueberry with vanilla, cedar and tobacco. Fine defined tannins, long finish ending with fruit, toasty and earthy notes. Nice! — 17 days ago

Kind of like the single sites better from this humble perspective. — 19 days ago
