91 Points

Friday, January 22, 2021 - Bright zingy bramble berry fruit. Pagani is high toned, concentrated and medium bodied. It's a given it is young and I know Ridge has a long known pedigree but I don't feel this wine will resolve fully. Yeh it may last for 10 plus years but the acid level worries me. Combine that high acid with high alcohol and the fickle Zin grape and I'm not convinced. It's got great aromatics and pure fruit but it's a strain to drink. I'll give it a 91 point rating because I can take higher acid with good fruit and structure and aromatics. I won't seek other bottles of this though.
