  Crimson in color. 13.4% ABV. From Metcalfe Vineyard in the Chalk Hill area of Sonoma County. The vines date back 120 years. 97% Zinfandel and 3% Petite Sirah. Pretty nose of red fruits, citrus and earth. Medium body with perfect acidity. Claret style Zinfandel packed with tart fruits. Cherry, blood orange, earth and pepper on the palate. Really nice length on the finish. Delicious Zinfandel that should really appeal to those of you who yearn for Zinfandel that shows elegance and restraint. Best over next 5-7 years.

  Kudos to Ridge for picking this Zin early and making a lower alcohol, balanced, and food friendly wine. This is refreshing and easy to like. I hope to see more winemakers take note that you don't need 15-16% ABV to be delicious.
