Vintage 2011 | When young this wine was tough and closed. Now it is open and friendly. Paired with spaghetti and cheeses. Did not develop extra layers or real depth. Very quaffable. — 25 days ago

Exceptional for the price point… as it says it’s great with red sauce spaghetti — 3 years ago

Clear, ruby red in the glass. Clean, little to no va present. Fragrant, with loads of tart red fruits present, lifted by fresh herbs and cut flowers. Fresh and light bodied, the acidity makes this the perfect foil for spaghetti and meatballs. If I had to only drink one Dolcetto, this would be it. — 5 years ago

This wine is medium-dark garnet. It has a fresh, ripe nose with a hint of funk present. The palate is full of bright, red fruit. Cherry, currant and raspberry flavors dominate, with a brisk mouthfeel of acidity and tannins. A savory side takes its cues from the earthiness found on the nose. Pair it with spaghetti and meatballs. — 3 months ago

Okay... just off the FedEx truck...red-check-tablecloth spaghetti take-out—-screaming for Cali Zin, so the 2019 Paso is one of Ridge’s 100% Zins and perfect for early drinking. Opaque purple, mid-weight, and bursting with black fruit, American oak, and nice zippy acidity. Good California zin and ripe, rich tomato sauce is a match I rely upon. One of the wine worlds most amazing bargains...Ridge is a National Treasure! — 4 years ago

Pale ruby in color; cherries, hibiscus, and cloves on the nose; medium plus acidity; medium minus tannins; tastes like raspberries, tart cherries, and wet slate with a long finish. Nellie doesn't like it (she says it's tart and chimically), but I love it. — 8 months ago

One of the few times I gave a wine time to open up and decanted it. Very smooth and even my husband enjoyed a few sips (not a wine drinker). I have a few bottles of 2019 and am wondering how they will compare — 4 years ago
