Always one of our favorite Ridge Zins, the 2004 Pagani Ranch is another great example of how Ridge pumps loads of flavor into wines that are balanced and food-friendly. The 2004, dark purple as always, has appealing aromas and flavors of blackberry, plum, and a hint of cranberry along with complex earthy/spicy/roasted herb notes, medium body (at least compared to some of the other crazy-rich wines we had this night), and a clean, dark-fruit finish. - WB Team 2007-01-13
