Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Zinfandel based blend from Ridge opens with a black raspberry and tobacco leaf bouquet with hints of wet stone. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, and fruit forward. The flavor profile a blackberry and black pepper blend with notes of black licorice and tobacco. I also detected hints of black raspberry and black olive. The finish is dry and its flavors and tingly tannins drift away nicely. I would pair this Zin blend with marinaded steak tips. Enjoy - Ken
Winemaker Notes: Ruby red color, blackberry, and raspberry on the nose. Medium bodied with smooth tannins, plum fruit and a note of vanilla on the finish.
