East Bench Zinfandel, Ridge vinyards , 2020

Ridge

 

East Bench Zinfandel, from Ridge Vineyards, Sonoma County, California. Our second wine from Ridge and another that lives up to the expectations. A beautifully smooth, but bold Zinfandel, takes us back to our California Visits. 

Vintage Notes

This is our fifteenth release from this 100% zinfandel vineyard. Favourable spring weather created ideal conditions for a full crop. To maximize color and flavor, we macerated the fermenting grapes for a week on average. After assembling seven of the eight parcels, the finished wine displays classic peppery red fruit typical of Dry Creek. Enjoyable upon release, this pure zinfandel will develop over the next seven years.
