Ridge Vineyards
Lytton Springs Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel Blend
Color edging toward ruby. Lots of dried cherry on the nose. Not as complex as othe odder bottles of Ridge Zin I've had. I'm guessing the 16% Petit Sirah is drying out the fruit here a bit.

Jun 18th, 20202006 vintage. Notes of raspberry and pepper. I expected this to be fuller fruit on the palate, not having had many Californian Zins before. Medium bodied at best. Beautiful perfumed nose. Light tannins and acid.

Изумительный в своей свежести и изяществе образец, тонкий, сбалансированный, сложный

Black cherry, licorice, almost oxidized but psyche! Very nice. Noticed a little va as it opened up. Decreased rating a bit.

Jul 9th, 2014On opening, very good dark fruit, light leather and spicy notes- nothing overblown and well structured - drinking near its peak now. Blew out after 2 hours - shows caramel, milky notes creeping in
