Ridge Vineyards East Bench Dry Creek Valley Zinfandel 2021

Fantastic new Ridge Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley. 92 Points Wine Spectator Magazine: "Appealingly old-school and just rustic enough to highlight the vibrant, briary wild berry flavors, laced with dried sage and licorice notes, building tension toward lively tannins. Drink now through 2028." The growing season at this hilltop vineyard began favorably with mild spring weather. Thanks to steady, warm weather throughout August, all seven parcels were ready to pick by early September. After fermenting each separately, we chose six for their exuberant fruit, elegant tannins and balanced acidity. Enjoyable upon release the exemplary Ridge 2021 East Bench Zinfandel will evolve over six to seven years.
