(2328 views) | | | Tasted by wildbill on 11/29/2006 & rated 91 points: drank with Osso Bucco. Cork was very tight, but there was a hint of brownish tint as we poured, but in the glass it looked perfect. Nevertheless, this was smooth and balanced, intense flavor on the mid palate, kind of black cherry and chocolate. (3053 views) | | | Tasted by LoireFan on 6/19/2006 & rated 91 points: Such elegance in a wine listed at 15.1% alcohol! Has more life to it, too. (3276 views) | | | Tasted by buckeye76 on 2/27/2005 & rated 92 points: JAMMY FRUIT IN THE NOSE AND FLAVOR, RASPBERRIES, CHERRIES, AND CHOCOLATE. MEDIUM LENGTH FINISH. (898 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 |
