Dark fruit notes. Big flavors of leather, smoke, bacon, spices and Oak. Full bodied with quite a bit of tannins without being too tannic. Nice and big Zin.

Decent follow-up to their 2013 vintage we had a while back. — a month ago
On the nose black raspberry, black cherry, Asian five spice, some black tea. Good dose of acidity for a zin based wine; some tannin as well. More black raspberry, black cherry, hint of smoke, blackberry and spice on the palate. I don’t usually go for this type of wine (higher etoh, somewhat warmer and riper style) however given the old vine character, Ridge is a producer I do come back to every once and a while. Did hit the spot on a cold night. — 5 days ago
Belle robe rubis foncé. Un nez médicinal, camphré et iodé avec en plus du tabac, des fraises et du chocolat. La bouche est aussi dans la pharmacie, c'est agréable, moyen-long, une bonne acidité. Rien de spectaculaire, on a vu des Zinfandels moins cher et meilleur. Composé à majorité de Zinfandel (81%) de St-Helena (White Barn, Molinari et Gonzales vineyard) d'une touche de Petite Syrah (10%) et de Carignan (9%). Le tout en agriculture biologique. J'adore l'étiquette. — 13 days ago
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. — a month ago

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. — 16 days ago
