This is my favorite Zinfindel blend from Ridge. I like it/them more with 8-10 years of bottle age. But this 2023 drank very well young. One of the best current releases I’ve had in a while. Fresh as it was very recently bottled! 93+ in time.
Sirloin Steak was tip top.
Pebble Beach Food & Wine 2025.
The ticket to this event has a pretty big price tag. But when you consider what a Napa etc. tasting or two and lunch would cost you, you are pretty much there and there is so much more than that. It ends up having great value. It’s wine, spirits and food candy land.

Glorious bottle. Everything I want. Blueberry, dried raspberry fruit, cinnamon, clove, classic baking spice. Mineral, real balance.

Never disappoiting. Juicy and well atructured, with red and dark notes, spices and silky tannins.

Oh man. 2014 slightly softening. Tannins are velvety but present, with sites red fruit, tobacco, pencil lead, dried herbs. Showing some slight age. Fruit up front and a touch of new American oak in the finish. A cool vintage with a short life, showing quite well.
