Jimsomare Vineyard Zinfandel

Old Bordeaux on the nose, old zin mouthfeel. Interesting, but might be getting close to the edge.

Caught it at an awkward time... Higher toned fruit, medium body, mellow acid. Just a little disjointed right now, alcohol comes through pretty strong.

Excellent.

Still interesting. Called 74 North Coast Zin.

Very nice ridge zin - higher altitude from their Monte bello property. Was looking for something to pair with chicken thighs marinated in a peruvian style and this definitely fit the bill. Nice fruit on the nose and palate, but not remotely jammy. Definitely a bite of tannins on the finish. At 13.5% this was very nice with a slight chill. Good reminder to look for more zin - at least if not a 15%+ bruiser.

This wine drinks so amazingly!

2014 vintage. Nose is packed with exotic fruit, keeps giving. Better even on second night. On the palate the tannins are softening, can't wait to try this next year. Finish is a bit subdued but bouquet more than makes up for it. Always seek out this wine whenever Ridge releases it. A beautiful wine from the Monte Bello Ridge.

Delicious paired with reverse-seared ribeye, umami mashed potato, roasted purple brussels, blistered shishito peppers

Still very fresh and vibrant at age 26. Red and black fruits, bramble, nice acidity, long finish 😋👌

Great balance of fruit and fragrance.
