v16. Really good! Soft smoked meat nose. Bright, juicy blackberry fruit. Clean, dry, black pepper and soft leather finish. Good burger and rib food wine. — a year ago

On the nose notes of graphite, blackberry, plum, cedar, and dark chocolate shavings. On the palate medium-plus body with notes of dark chocolate & cherry truffles, espresso and raspberries. Nicely paired with my favorite burger. — 6 years ago

For some reason I love Ridge Zins with a grilled burger. Difficult to describe the notes in this wine.

On the nose: black pepper, blackberry, anise, menthol, floral, slight blueberry and....cherry cola? On the tongue: blackberry, cherry, baking spice, tobacco on the finish. Grippy tannins at first but mellows out extremely fast. Petite sirah cuts through burger fat nicely. Another nice Zin blend from Ridge. — 4 years ago

Expressive of a true Walla Walla Boudreaux blend that is spot on! Enjoyed with a magnificent burger. — 6 years ago

Out of the 4 wines opened at The Bird, this one edged out the Numanthia 12 by a hair. Quite similar profiles IMO. This Walla Walla Syrah was quite enjoyable with dark black fruit on the front. Consistent with the 2015 I tasted a bit ago but IMO, this one had a bit more of a smoked beef flavor in the middle that the dark sweet and still youthful fruit gave way. Chose this as the "food" wine since most chose the Bird Burger (a grass fed beef burger)....it went rather well. Popular with the crowd of novices and winos, the smoky finish was very complementary. Maybe I might acquire a few of these WA Syrahs afterall to have for these purposes....(not a word, @Shay A .... 😆) — 6 years ago

9.0

Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.

Red and black fruits on the nose with tobacco leaf, light oak, chocolates and light forest floor.

Full-bodied with medium acidity and long legs.

Dry on the palate with black plums, black currants, cooked cherries, cedar, licorice, light vanilla, tobacco, peppercorn, chocolates, herbs, light alcohol, spices and light earth.

Long finish with fine grained tannins, raspberries and spices.

This is a very tasty and easy drinking Zinfandel. Fruit forward and rich. Complex and entertaining with a nice mouthfeel. Nicely balanced, spicy and tangy.

Needs an hour in the decanter to open up and show the nose.

Good by itself as a sipping wine, and will pair nicely with a burger and fries.

15.5% alcohol by volume.

90 points.

clay.
On the tongue: raspberry, graphite, pepper cinnamon, and spice.

Nice and approachable Zin. Just enough structure to clear a nice lean bison burger. — 4 years ago

Perfect wine for the burger and chicken salt fries at Frankie... body, hint of tobacco, spice—didn’t require me to think too much. Harmonizer. — 6 years ago
