Ridge Vineyards
Mazzoni Home Ranch Carignane Blend
Ripe figs, plums, anise on the nose. An excellent, smoothe texture with another 6 to 7 years of agebility. Stewed red fruits on the palate pair very well with my steak tonight, but what red from Ridge doesn't pair well with steak?

Dec 24th, 2017Great tanninic structure. Hints of smoke and black cherry. Only regret is that I may never again taste this limited edition bottling.

Dec 18th, 2017Digging the carignane. Turkey mole (rojo) enchiladas were a good match. Also enjoyed with slow roasted pork belly over mixed greens and raspberry vinaigrette.

Dec 11th, 2017I'm digging the Carignane dominant Zinfandel blend. Even though alcohol is 14.2%, it isn't noticeable and the flavor is full of blackberries and ripe raspberries. The oak brings dimension without getting in the way. Night one: grilled garlic and black pepper tri-tip; night two: pan seared salmon with a blackberry & red pepper balsamic sauce.
