(2862 views) | | | Tasted by dlynch on 10/12/2011 & rated 89 points: Very, very nice. Smooth! Rich, dark, chewy red fruit. Tannin fully integrated.
A nice complement to a stuffed artichoke and a brownie.
I don't think more age will do this any good, but it's lovely right now. (3024 views) | | | Tasted by slada on 7/5/2010 & rated 87 points: dark red with faint bricking; initially somewhat muted with sour cherry cedar nose- in the mouth tasted initially a bit oxidized/old with failing red fruits- over a couple hours though came around with brighter, sweeter smelling nose and rounder lusher (relatively) fruit. (3400 views) | | | Tasted by dboutt on 7/6/2008 & rated 90 points: Classic Ridge blend of zin and carignane. A nice wine that is probably at it's peak. (3753 views) | | | Tasted by Colima74 on 9/24/2006: Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. I took this to dinner at Frank's instead of the 2000 Monte Bello!! Barely tasted and left at FMiIIs.. maybe he will tell me how it was? (3932 views) | | | Tasted by luko on 7/19/2005 & rated 88 points: Not bad....much improved since it was first released. Nice red berry fruit. Could continue to improve as it evolves. (2033 views) | | | Tasted by tmay on 6/25/2005 & rated 89 points: Nice fruit, good finish. (1966 views) |
| Ridge Producer website | Wikipedia
Ridge Vineyards is a California winery specializing in premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay wines. Ridge produces wine at two winery locations in northern California. The original winery facilities are located at an elevation of 2,300 feet (700 m) on Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA near Cupertino, California. The other Ridge winery facilities are at Lytton Springs in the Dry Creek Valley AVA of Sonoma County.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountySonoma CountySonoma Coast |
