Not a fruit bomb yet a balanced and powerful zin. Dark fruit punches hard on this wine as does spice, oak, and leather. This is complex and deep for a zin that could go many more years.

Crimson in color. 15.1% ABV. 100% Zinfandel. Sublime nose of red and black fruits, anise and pepper. Full bodied with mouth watering acidity. Rich, dark, earthy fruits in spades. Black cherry, black raspberry, toffee and pepper on the palate. Exceptional length on the finish. Always one of my favorites Zins in the Ridge portfolio. This will age well. Best over the next 3-5 years.

Shared this with my wine group at an Indian restaurant. Opened, but not decanted for about 45 minutes before pouring. This was the group favorite, as it went well with the food and worked on its on as well.
