Very nice. Mostly dark fruit with blackberry and black cherry being the stars. Some nice peppery spice. Tannins and acidity are quite high. A bit of a burn from the 15% abv, but not in an unpleasant way.
While I have not tasted this wine yet, I would like to point out that this is a true Zinfandel (95% zinfandel), and not a field blend like the Lytton Springs (72% zinfandel).

Still some tanins. Chalk and mineral with lightly tart cherry top end. Balanced. Could rest a few more years.

15% feels like a typo, it’s drinking elegantly.

Outstanding blueberry pie scented Zinfandel in an opulent (for Ridge) style. A hidden gem— don’t miss!
