Ridge Vineyards Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel Blend 2019
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. 93 Points Jeb Dunnuck: "The Ridge Three Valleys is another terrific 2018 from this team. A blend of 70% Zinfandel, 14% Petite Sirah, 12% Carignan, and the rest Mataro, it plays in the medium-bodied, elegant end of the spectrum and has wonderful purity in its blue fruits, peppery herbs, violets, and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Nicely textured, elegant, and seamless on the palate, with good acidity, this ethereal, balanced beauty can be drunk today or cellared for 10-15 years." 92 Points Wine Spectator: "Svelte and briary, with vibrant raspberry and black cherry flavors, accented by licorice, tarragon and white pepper notes. Finishes with snappy tannins. Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane and Mataro. Drink now through 2028. "

"Odedi" 
Ruby in color with a wide reddish/brick rim. Fruit forward on the nose and medium plus in body with medium acidity. Dry on the palate with nice complexity. Showing sweet cherries, raspberries, blueberries, black currants, plums, chocolates, light oak, earth, cola, herbs, spices, light vanilla, licorice, peppercorn and tobacco leaf. Nice tangy finish with soft tannins. This 6-year-old Zinfandel blend from Sonoma County is drinking at its peak. Spicy and fruit forward. Elegant and juicy. Great right out of the bottle, but even better after a few hours of air, when the complexity really comes to life. The alcohol is very nicely integrated by now. Easy drinking and nicely balanced. A great sipping wine. 14.5% alcohol by volume. 91 points. $35.

The 2019 Three Valleys is a supple, easygoing Zinfandel-based red to drink now and over the next few years, while the flavors remain bright and punchy. Bright floral accents perk up the red Zinfandel fruit nicely. The Three Valleys will make a great house pour. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2022)
