| 2011 Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel East Bench Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma, California WB Rating: 88 Alcohol by volume: 14.6% Price at time of purchase: $28.00 (from winery) Type: Zinfandel Principal varietal(s): 100% Zinfandel From a cool vintage, this is not a powerhouse, but it has the usual Ridge level of remarkable balance and grace. Deep dark cherry and berry fruit with attractive spice and a touch of smoke and floral notes. A bit leaner than would be the case in warmer years, a bit more tannic and a bit less voluptuous, yet all its parts are in harmony and it's an excellent food wine. Beautifully made Zin in a tough year. - HK 2015-03-15 [Back] |
