Pagani Sonoma Valley Zinfandel 2020

Dark ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Beautiful nose of black currants, black plums, black cherries, cedar, light vanilla, milk chocolates, light earth, tobacco, black pepper and mediterranean spices.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with black currants, black plums, light cedar, cherries, dark chocolates, earth, tobacco leaf, black pepper, herbs and light green tea.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, cherries and peppercorn.

This 6 year old Single Vineyard Zinfandel from Sonoma Valley is drinking beautifully now. Rich and fruit forward, elegant and nicely balanced. Tangy and spicy.

Delicious by itself, and good right out of the bottle.

Starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to do so in the next 5 years. Showing a beautiful nose already, with lots of complexity. The high alcohol is well integrated by now.

Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.

A blend of 98% Zinfandel and 2% Alicante Bouschet from 100 year old vines. Aged in French and American Oak barrels for 16 months.

15% alcohol by volume.

92 points.

$55.

Pagani Ranch Norma's Block Zinfandel Blend 2022

Actually the “Norma’s Block” bottling - apparently made from a small parcel within Pagini Ranch still owned by a grandmother. Delicious. Dense and fruit forward, with excellent acid keeping things balanced throughout. Quite enjoyable. — a year ago

@Tom Casagrande @Jay Kline quite agreed! I think I purchased this on-site in Lytton Springs and the chaps there had a lot of fun quizzing me on old field varietals that I didn’t know :)

Requires some air but utterly delicious. So different than the ridge ‘pagani ranch’ but equally as insightful with regards to that terroir. Lush, complex and truly ‘American’. Bravo! — 4 years ago

@Dave - Two weeks worth of wines notes disappeared from my page too. But I was curious if they had completely disappeared or just from my page. So I searched for a couple of them, and turns out they’re still somewhere on the app. Just not on my page.

Historic Vine Blanc Mancini Ranch & Pagani Ranch Palomino Blend 2023

Needed to fill out a half case and this looked intriguing. Quite tasty. Interesting blend - palomino, muscadelle, and then a bit of semillon, chenin blanc, and burger (?). Balanced and textured. Gentle on the palate, but with a nice full finish. — a year ago

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2022

Day 1 of this year's Smallmouth Smackdown has begun. After 7 hours on the boat, and a dozen bass, it's time to crack into some libations (had a few PBR's on the boat).
This is a lush Zin. Concentrated fruit, but savory and chewy. Blackberry, blood orange, cigar box, and enough structure to age much longer. This is my 3rd Ridge Zin, and I'd have to say I still favor the Pagani Ranch.

@Dave, bravo my man!! The other advice you received is also great!! I think Pagani vs. Lytton Springs vs. Geyserville vs. any other Ridge Zin is often vintage, since they’re all blends!! (In fact, Geyserville never (mostly?) never says Zinfandel on the label since it very rarely (never?) is at least 75% Zinfandel, which is the CA requirement for varietal name on the label.
