August 7, 2022 - Ridge absolutely produces some of the best zinfandel! The balanced acidity, the smokey and spicey flavors and aromas, the mild tannins while providing a lasting finish. That about sums it up. This wine is drinking perfect NOW! Why wait...in my opinion, no more than 3 years (but this was my last bottle).

July 31, 2022 - Really in a great place. Tons of red fruit on the front palate and a satisfying smooth end with well integrated hints of oak as well. I think this will stay at this plateau for another year or two. Wish I had more
