Spicy on nose, juicy. Nothing too serious, just pleasant. Drinking well right now.

Pizza and Zin! From one of the coolest sites, this had great vibrant, Brambly fruit and plenty of punch... It should age great.

Well balanced. Little tannic but it's still young. Could taste amazing in two years or so.

One of my favorite Ridge Zinfandels. Nice balance of tannins. This 2019 could use a few more years of aging but still very drinkable right now.

Delish Zinfandel with unique aromas & flavors profile. Nose has BBQ sauce, crushed peppers & dark cherries. Light-medium texture, rich finish.

Wonderful flavors, beautiful balance of fruit and tannins. A little sour and juice like, but also balanced with great aromas. Great wine!
