Community Tasting Note

Sunday, November 18, 2018 - Sixteen months ago when tasting this wine, I noted, “Cherry red at the rim; ox blood at the core; and translucent throughout; rather stunning in the glass. The bouquet is all about Draper perfume, plum, Dr. Pepper, spicy Zin fun and pepper. The nose is big; the biggest I can recall of any Ponzo Zin. The bouquet translates completely on the palate with loads of perfume, ripe plum and all the spiciness of Dr. Pepper, funk and pepper filling the mouth. Black cherry joins the fray. It all culminates in a finish of coffee.” While the wine may have smoothed out a bit since then, it still speaks the same zippy language. This is one of the few Ponzo’s that performs up to the name of Ridge. A blend of 93% Zinfandel, 7% Petite Sirah . 14.8% alc. With Pierce’s pork BBQ. Recommended.
