Ridge delivers textbook Dry Creek fire with remarkable restraint and depth.
Briary intensity meets sophisticated restraint. Raspberry brightness cuts through layers of tar and black pepper heat. Licorice threads weave complexity throughout. Mid-palate shows Petite Sirah's spine without overwhelming Zinfandel's natural charm. Carignane adds earthy backbone. Finish lingers with smoky persistence. Classic Ridge precision elevates traditional field blend concept. Ready now but will reward patience through 2032. Pure Dry Creek character in every sip.
🍷 You crave California Zinfandel with backbone and want Ridge's legendary consistency.
Pairs with: Grilled lamb with rosemary, Barbecue tri-tip, Mushroom risotto, Aged hard cheeses
