Bright blue and red fruit that jumps out of the glass. Ridge again showing it's mastery of the Zin grape.

I don’t drink zin but ridge always intrigued me. Ponzo here is low tannin with pleasant off-dry tastes that bring dried plum to the front of the palette. Incredibly high alcohol can be justified only if you add food.

Medium bodied. Extremely smooth. Well balanced but still had a surprising amount of fruit for a 2010.
