(345 views) | | | Tasted by arzhon on 9/14/2022 & rated 93 points: Very balanced blend, soft in tannins and with strong red and black fruit aromas, mainly cherry and blackberry. Subtle aromas from the barrel, that come to the nose as leather, and mild peppery flavor. Excellent to drink now, I would cellar only for 1-2 more years. (531 views) | | | Tasted by WetRock on 4/24/2022: I think my last note sums this one up well. I do detect an integrated wood quality as a spicy note. I think this has mellowed just enough to make it a tad more interesting as well. A wine of bright, primary fruit supported by solid structure. The focused tannin gives focus to the finish. Quite nice even to night three. (806 views) | | | Tasted by WetRock on 10/16/2021: Holy berry cobbler. Just *wham* right in the face with the fresh fruit. Certainly not too extracted or ripe. Just pure big fruit. Seems to be a welcome lack of wood character. Shows a sort of glycerin type of heaviness in the midpalate. Solid acidity but not real lift. A touch of skin like bitterness helped give it more interest on night two. Otherwise this blend is narrow in purpose. Wide open and ready to go. Overall this is another wine where I feel they should offer it at a lower price. A unique site for certain but the wine does not command the sort of attention many others do for the money.

Acid definitely plays a key role and it’s very obvious and present but it is supported buy some beautiful sweet fruit that dances with the acid in a magical way. Great job Ridge. Thought it might need food but it was consumed without. (805 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.Carignan Blend50% Mourvèdre 30% Carignan 20% GrenacheUSAAmerican 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 CountyRussian River Valley Russian River Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia |
