Ridge Vineyards

Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend 2022

Day 1 of this year's Smallmouth Smackdown has begun. After 7 hours on the boat, and a dozen bass, it's time to crack into some libations (had a few PBR's on the boat).
This is a lush Zin. Concentrated fruit, but savory and chewy. Blackberry, blood orange, cigar box, and enough structure to age much longer. This is my 3rd Ridge Zin, and I'd have to say I still favor the Pagani Ranch.

@Dave - All the single vineyard Zins Ridge makes are great, year after year, decade after decade. They always respect the grape and the vineyard and the grower. Also keep an eye out for their Carignanes and the blends from the centennial vines in Contra Costa County.

One of the best pinots I have had (2016). Very nice balance of fruit and dryness. Mouth feel was incredible for a Pinot. Trying to figure out how to get more. — 7 years ago
