Vintage 2011 | In praise of the cooperatives ☺️ This wine from Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Malbec and Abouriou was really hard when young. And now after 12 years it reveals its qualities: cherries and spices in smell, smooth velvety taste, very vibrant and still with tannins present. It gives joy. Paired with spaghetti garlic, anchovies and parsley. — 3 years ago
Okay... just off the FedEx truck...red-check-tablecloth spaghetti take-out—-screaming for Cali Zin, so the 2019 Paso is one of Ridge’s 100% Zins and perfect for early drinking. Opaque purple, mid-weight, and bursting with black fruit, American oak, and nice zippy acidity. Good California zin and ripe, rich tomato sauce is a match I rely upon. One of the wine worlds most amazing bargains...Ridge is a National Treasure! — 5 years ago
Clear, ruby red in the glass. Clean, little to no va present. Fragrant, with loads of tart red fruits present, lifted by fresh herbs and cut flowers. Fresh and light bodied, the acidity makes this the perfect foil for spaghetti and meatballs. If I had to only drink one Dolcetto, this would be it. — 6 years ago
Smells of fruit, a little blackberry. Taste is of rich fruit, blackberry and cherry, almost jammy like especially at the back of the tongue. Followed by a bit of sour notes towards the finish. This is a delicious wine that goes very well with spaghetti and meatballs. — 7 years ago

Sweet, light, burst of cherry, with slightly bitter aftertaste. Goes well with classic Italian fare (we paired with spaghetti and Turkey meatballs). — 3 years ago
Exceptional for the price point… as it says it’s great with red sauce spaghetti — 5 years ago
One of the few times I gave a wine time to open up and decanted it. Very smooth and even my husband enjoyed a few sips (not a wine drinker). I have a few bottles of 2019 and am wondering how they will compare — 6 years ago
