Ridge Vineyards Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2015
Another fantastic Three Valleys from Ridge and one of the best Zinfandel values anywhere! "Three Valleys" is the proprietary name for the only Ridge wine blended from multiple vineyard sites. They select softer, more accessible lots from their single vineyards and, taking the role of winemaker literally, create a character they find most appealing. Younger vines from Lytton Estate provided most of the fruit; older vines on five small Alexander Valley vineyards and one Russian River vineyard make up the rest. This sixth vintage of Three Valleys contains the highest percentage of zinfandel to date. Sensuous structure and rich fruit give the wine immediate appeal; it will bemost enjoyable over the next five years. 91 Points Wine Enthusiast "Editor's Choice: "This bottling defines such a style. It's dry and lithe in the mouth yet gently tannic, with suggestions of berry jam, bacon, grilled mushrooms and hints of balsamic and soy sauce." 80% ZINFANDEL, 10% PETITE SIRAH, 5% CARIGNANE, 5% GRENACHE

On the nose: crushed raspberries, floral bouquet, strawberries, cinnamon, clay. On the tongue: raspberry, graphite, pepper cinnamon, and spice. Nice and approachable Zin. Just enough structure to clear a nice lean bison burger.

Pale purple color. Aromas of dark cherry, rhubarb and licorice. Haunting cherry flavors through black licorice and cedar. Paired nicely with Sous Vide steak.

I am a Ridge fan but I have learned they have many wines. This one was a big juicy fruit forward Zin. I had a Syrah recently that was sour grapes so I will stick with trying their zins. They have a 50 that is awsome as well.

Dried red fruits and the right amount of vanilla oak. Great go-to red for just about anything.

Jammy, smooth, medium tannins. Even better after breathing a bit. Great Thanksgiving wine!
