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

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 — 5 years ago
Wednesday spaghetti and meatballs, two dark chocolates for dessert. Pretty satisfying. — 3 months 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. — 7 months ago

Such a great food wine!
Classic orange/gold color. Less acidic and bold as prior vintages. Orange, melons, and spaghetti sauce (??) dominate. Lovely texture, — 22 days ago
