| Community Tasting Notes (average 84 pts. and median of 88 pts. in 5 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Bisty on 3/23/2014 & rated 88 points: Ridge Zinfandel 1994-2010 (Brussels): Almost brick color.
Dark, raw fruit of red orange, vanilla, mature notes; earthy on the nose.
On the palate medium body, round fruit with an unbalanced acidity and some wood tannins marking it with an unbalanced end impression. Should have been drunk although I imagine this has always given an overoaked impression. (2925 views) | | | Tasted by daveste on 2/14/2013 & rated 90 points: A bit over the hill, but it was a nice hill. Old Zin tends to taste like old cab if as well made as this one. Elegant bouquet of mushrooms and earth, a bit musty. Balance on the bitter side, but tannins are smooth. Cork was in good shape so this bottle was well kept (I bought it at a charity event). (2395 views) | | | Tasted by buckeye76 on 4/23/2005 & rated 92 points: DEEP FRUIT, BLACK CHERRIES IN THE NOSE. FLAVOR LIKE THE NOSE, RICH BERRY FRUIT AND BLACK CHERRIES. MEDIUM TO LONG FINISH. (1488 views) | | | Tasted by Oberhau on 3/12/1999 & rated 65 points: Smooth, not as rich as Ridges can be (3045 views) |

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.Zinfandel ZAP: Zinfandel Advocates & Producers | Varietal character (Appellation America) | Wikipedia-ZinfandelUSAAmerican 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 CountyDry Creek Valley Winegrowers of Dry Creek Valley | Dry Creek Valley Association | Appellation America | San Francisco Chronicle Article |
