I find Carmichael to be one of Ridge’s more elegant and lighter Zins... which means it’s still a brute but not a monster. ‘15 had better balance out of the gate than previous years.

They know how to get it done. Tremendous elegance and restraint, roasted plum, new American Oak, chalky tannin, connective acidity. Remarkable as always.

perfect right now, just as Ridge guided on their label, fruit with backbone in the finish!

A little more oak than I prefer but this is still a great wine. Paired with BBQ baby back pork ribs.
