Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, April 17, 2024 - Some of the tasting notes here are...something. This is a lovely, completely-in-the-wheelhouse Ridge Zin blend that shows the pedigree of the winery. There's delicious dark red & purple fruits on the nose with a touch of crushed rock and white pepper-y, smoky spice notes. The palate is surprisingly lithe and lifted by bright acids; more of that cherry coulis on the palate. The American oak comes off more herbaceous and green (in a good way) than dill or coconut, as there's plenty of fruit here to absorb it. Some pebbly tannins to bind it all together, give it structure and a bit of aging ability - this could easily go 3-5 years but is enjoyable now.
