Ridge Zinfandels

This iconic zinfandel, is actually a field blend of 76% zinfandel, 16% carignane, 6% petite sirah, and 2% Alicante Bouschet. This blend of 'mixed blacks' was a traditional planting method in California's oldest vineyards and gives this wine the balance and complexity you expect from Ridge. Low stock: Limited to 12 bottles per member.

The 2021 is a field blend based on a majority (72%) Zinfandel from this single vineyard in the Dry Creek Valley. A dry year has reduced yields yet the fruit has deep concentration. Full and bursting with plum and blueberry fruit this is vibrant in its youth, but has a great track record for ageing. Available only as part of mixed case MX2496.

This field blend is 90% zinfandel, 5% petite sirah, 5% Alicante Bouschet from mostly pre-prohibition vines planted and managed by the same family at Pagani Ranch, in California's Sonoma Valley. The positioning of this vineyard means that it sits in an enclave that benefits from the cooling fogs that slip in from the coast for longer each morning. Pure and intense this wine has a bramble, damson and blueberry core that has well balanced but delicious fine oak notes, spice and balance with a long finish. It's a wine that is enjoyable in its youth, but with time will develop layers of forest fruits, baking spice and undergrowth. Exclusive to The Wine Society in the UK thanks to our long relationship with the team at Ridge.
