Unfiltered Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2019

Tasting great. Probably even better in 5 years. Good fruit, some earth and wood. Herbs galore, black pepper, tarragon, maybe a hint of lavender. Love this. — 6 days ago

East Bench Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2009

Excellent Zin with a lot of fruits; blackberries, cranberries and some dark cherries. Also, spice, cedar and more. Did not know what to expect as Zin’s don’t go for a lot of aging. Happy I found this one in my cellar and have a couple of other Ridge wines I need to drink up.

I stopped purchasing Ridge years ago as I got into lighter wines. Visited Ridge Winery last century and had an excellent tasting as I remember and met and chatted with Paul Draper.

Frog's Leap

Napa Valley Zinfandel 2021

Belle robe rubis foncé. Un nez médicinal, camphré et iodé avec en plus du tabac, des fraises et du chocolat. La bouche est aussi dans la pharmacie, c'est agréable, moyen-long, une bonne acidité. Rien de spectaculaire, on a vu des Zinfandels moins cher et meilleur. Composé à majorité de Zinfandel (81%) de St-Helena (White Barn, Molinari et Gonzales vineyard) d'une touche de Petite Syrah (10%) et de Carignan (9%). Le tout en agriculture biologique. J'adore l'étiquette. — 3 days ago

Earthquake Lodi Zinfandel 2021

Dark fruit notes. Big flavors of leather, smoke, bacon, spices and Oak. Full bodied with quite a bit of tannins without being too tannic. Nice and big Zin.

Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2019

Very pretty color of ruby with medium intensity and a wide reddish rim.

Pretty nose with nice complexity.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate and complex.

Showing red and black fruits with wood, light licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.

Nice finish with soft tannins and cherries.

This 6 year old Zinfandel based Red blend from Sonoma County is drinking at its peak, and will continue to drink nicely in the next few years.

Elegant and fruit forward. Nicely balanced and soft with a nice mouthfeel. Showing nice complexity at this point.

Wine Enthusiasts 90 points. Wine Spectator 93 points.

Easy drinking and good by itself as a sipping wine.

A blend of 73% Zinfandel, 13% Petite Sirah, 10% Carignan, 3% Mataro and 1% Alicante Bouschet.

14.5% alcohol by volume.

91 points.
