Old-vine field blend delivers serious Sonoma complexity at fair price.

Briary blackberry explodes from glass. Black pepper cuts through dense fruit core. Raspberry brightness balances tar-tinged depth. Licorice threads weave through muscular structure. Petite Sirah adds backbone without overwhelming Zinfandel's wild character. Carignane brings earthy minerality. Finish stretches long with spice box complexity. Ridge's restraint pays dividends - this drinks beautifully now but will reward patience through 2028.
