No surprise, this #ridgevineyards Ponzo opens up tight and reductive. Give it at least 30 minutes to breathe and it awakens. Fruit compote, jammy nose with traces of baking spice aromas. Lovely acidity, balanced with firm tannins - a Ridge offering that could easily age for 5 to 7 years longer at minimum. — a year ago

Tasty Zin with lush fruit and not too overt American Oak. Ridge doesn't disappoint #ridgevineyards — 8 years ago

With the roughly 4+ years of bottle age this was showing nicely albeit at its peak. Lovely black fruits danced with warm Spivey notes and the palate was full and balanced. Very happy I didn’t pull the cork on this wine early.

Wow...what a gorgeous wine. Mint and tobacco and herbs...very smooth tannins. Exemplary. PnP. Orlando for week-long conference and did not expect anything like this. On their list for much less than any place on WineSearcher. Bravo #ridgevineyards and #pauldraper — 9 years ago

Saturday with a beautiful 2010 Pagani Ranch Zinfandel from @ridgevineyards in California, USA 🇺🇲 🍷The wine is a blend of 82% Zinfandel, 16% Alicante Bouschet, and 2% Petit Sirah. 14.9% ABV.
Intense aromas of raspberries, blackberries, cherry and some red currant on the nose. It also delivers notes of vanilla, spices and some thyme. It is smooth in the palate with a long finish. Medium-plus tannins and acidity. Still a great bottle! 🍷
From the vineyard's history: "Since 1991, Ridge has made zinfandel from the old Pagani vineyard on the east-facing side of Sonoma Valley. Almost all the vines here were planted more than a hundred years ago." Cheers! 🍷

Really herbal with lemon pith and baking spice notes. Quite a bit of dairy comes up on the finish. Nice acidity. Love the way it has progressed. Very interesting! #chardonyesway #ridgevineyards #montebello — 9 years ago
