95% Zinfandel, 5% Petite Sirah, 15.3% alcohol. Medium dark garnet color in glass. Lovely spicy bouquet. Spicy fruit on palate with good body. Alcohol does not intrude. Not Beaujolais like but a little precocious for a Ridge Zin. Went great with homemade beef jerky! Absolutely at peak so drink up!

Light and fruity, not what I wanted or was expecting especially with 5% petite sirah but I guess that amount is negligible. Reminded me of a beaujolais??? Good to have chilled on a Spring day I suppose. Not meant for aging. Drink 'em up. Glad I moved it now vs. waiting and being more disappointed later. I recall previous bottle i had over a year ago also being similiar.

Great firm fruit, vanilla, baking spices. This is in a great place right now. Fully mature, but firm. Very nice.

big dark fruit with a liqueur component; good earth and reasonable balance. Worked best with a big cheese/sausage pizza.
