Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend

Blend of 65% Zinfandel, 26% Petite Sirah, 5% Syrah & 4% Alicante Bouschet. Deep Ruby with aromas of red fruits, oak, spice and floral scents. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with pepper, cacao, spice and smoky oak. Well balanced, fine tannins, medium+ finish ending with fruit, smoke and spice. Will age.

Serve-able and just OK. Cherry (very) driven. And not much more. Seems too light despite 14.1%. Lacks stuffing.

Oaky

Jammy and juicy. Blackberries and vanilla. Could use a good breather before enjoying.

I don’t think I have ever had anything made by Ridge until a few weeks ago. Mighty tasty stuff. Went well with the pasta dish I made for dinner. Now on a mission to find more 😊

A birthday gift from nice friends! Light and bouncy, strawberries, oak, a bit floral, gets juicier on the finish. Yay! 🎉

Zin, chewy forest and tobacco, dense. good structure from the syrah and petite sirah.

Post dinner wonderfulness
