Perfect harmony between acid, tannin, and fruit. Dried red fruits up front before anise, pencil lead, papery tannin dominate the mid palate. The finish is sweet vanilla cream for.an instant before a more focused, subtle earth comes about. Less overtly woody than many Ridge Zins. Restraint and terroir focus typical of this producer.

Elegant fruity Zin. Better the second night. Needs a few years to grow some more character.
