A Ridge Zin...does any more need to be said? This wine has a garnet color with a medium body and medium finish; the aromas of prune and smoke arise out of the glass; the flavors of prune and raisin with a taste of black pepper combine well with the balanced acidity and tannins (a Ridge trademark) and the prefect amount of alcohol to complement everything. Drinking very well now with another 2 -3 years left in bottle.

Ridge just keeps on giving with their Zins! This vineyard and vintage is no exception. The black cherry, plum, slight pepper and spice (some plum) give the wine adequate flavor. The mild and balanced tannins and acidity, with a moderate finish make for a pleasure to consume. I slightly disagree with the "group" on the drink window. I still see life in the bottle of 3 - 5 years.
