Un nez classique de Zin, framboise, une brin vanillé. En bouche, du bon jus, frais et croquant. Du plaisir, aucune lourdeur mais on s’attend à plus d'un Ridge en longueur et complexité. 88 pts

Ridge’s entry level zin shows the quality of their wine making yet comes across as a bit simple compared to their single vineyard offerings.
The nose offers a somewhat jammy profile of crushed blackberries and raspberries which are accented with moderate tannins and a bit of malolactic creaminess across the palate.

Blackberry with some spice and a little funk. Slightly juicy fruits, decent mid-palate, fully integrated tannins. Nice but not wowed.

Nutmeg and raspberry on the nose
Herbal bitterness
Feels like going on a hike
Rustic, free, natural but not annoying

This bottle was no where near up to par with previous bottles ... flat, not in balance and disappointing.

Elegant, refined. Delicious. Full bodied, complex, spicy.

This was quite average. Notes of cherry fruit. A little light and flat.

Solid as usual. Balanced tannins and fruit.
Slightly rough around the edges keeps it from getting a higher score.

This bottle was excellent, the last one was probably corked. Nose of cherries and van. Pretty good balance and structure

Excellent zin blend. The wife really likes this which means a lot considering she normally prefers softer reds.

14.5% abv. Medium Ruby, moderately expressive aromas. Cherry, Zin bramble and blue fruit. Moderate depth and length. Drinkable now.
