Cork giving out but why not after 19 years! Wine is escaping to fresh beauty with a little wet dog age that I like.

80% Zin, 16% Petite Syrah, 4% Carignane
14.7% is reigning it in on this varietal and well done! Doesn’t feel fire breathing at all 👏 — 12 days ago

Ruby in color with a wide reddish/brick rim.

Fruit forward on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing sweet cherries, raspberries, blueberries, black currants, plums, chocolates, light oak, earth, cola, herbs, spices, light vanilla, licorice, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.

Nice tangy finish with soft tannins.

This 6-year-old Zinfandel blend from Sonoma County is drinking at its peak. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant and juicy.

Great right out of the bottle, but even better after a few hours of air, when the complexity really comes to life.

The alcohol is very nicely integrated by now. Easy drinking and nicely balanced. A great sipping wine.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

Really a nice zin. Needs a bit of air and a slight chill. Lots of dark red / black fruit and violets on the nose. Tannins and oak are present, but relatively balanced even at this stage. Great acid. 13.9% which is appreciated. Nice pairing with soy sauce marinated skirt steak. — a month ago

Even after 3 hours, this is shy. Darker fruits, loads of structure. A few hints at what it will become but needs more time. — a month ago

At 9 years old, very smooth with deep ruby color and nice texture. A fan of many of the Pine Ridge cabs. Pairs well with a variety of food. Drank in January 2025. — 4 months ago

Ridge Zinfandel blends always age well. This was no different. Tasted this blind and no one called Zinfandel. That’s how different they become with this kind of age. That Zinfandel jamminess fades and complexity rises.

Recent pick up at K&L $46.

1 hour decant(some chunky/fine sediment). A splendid dark medium garnet with little bricking. On the nose: expressive perfumed nose with dark plum/cherry, currants,milk chocolate, baking spice, floral, wet forest floor, touch of roasted meat. Taste: silky, balanced, elegant wine that is singing at 20 years with dried red fruit, earth, chocolate, cedar, minerals, saline, and a spiced-tobacco-green bell pepper long finish. YUM! — a month ago
