  • 2002 Ridge Zinfandel Ponzo Vineyard 88 Points

    USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley

    Much more restrained then the other zins. Good fruit, and a little minty. Much more interesting the the other wines. But still has that bright fruit. This is the style of zin I prefer. 87-89

  • 2003 Renwood Old Vine Zinfandel

    USA, California, Sierra Foothills, Amador County

    Tannic, or more properly, the fruit doesn't hold up to the tannins. Rather thin. Either past its prime already, or maybe it was never that good.

    6/26/07: Strange, retried at a tasting and this was quite pleasant. It had nice fruit, and while fairly simple, offered nice zin characteristics without going overboard... This time, 87 Points.

    Nice nose, but not very much structure. Decent fruit, however, it's pretty boring for a $30 zin. 82-83
