One of the better (best?) Italian Syrahs I’ve had. Totally integrated, medium bodied, delightful fruit — 5 months ago

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

I love the weird old varietals listed in the mix!

@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 :)

Geyserville is very nice, too!

@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.

Yeah I see that. I should have known. @Tom Casagrande

Pagani Ranch Zinfandel 2022

Sipping Fine Wine
9.1

Dark Ruby with aromas of berry fruits, tangy herb, pepper and sweet spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and ripe black cherry with black pepper spice and earthy sweet herbs. Fine rich tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy oak. Nice but needs a little more time in cellar! — 9 months ago

8.9

Overpriced exotic white blend from Sonoma: you get a bunch of that Malvasia nose, very floral, fennel, herbs, citrus-y, silky on palate, nicely integrated acidity - more austere on palate, lean/angular, herbaceous green edged, but w/decent power — 3 years ago

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2022

9.3

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.

@Tom Casagrande Indeed.

@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.

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
