IWC: By Josh Raynolds
Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar (Issue #135, November/December 2007)
(Ridge Vineyards Geyserville Sonoma County) ($35; 77% zinfandel, 17% carignane and 6% petite sirah) Dark red. Seductively perfumed aromas of raspberry, cherry, lavender and minerals lifted by exotic Asian spices. Seems almost light for zinfandel, with a silky texture and deep, sweet red and dark berry flavors. The tannins are nicely folded into the fruit, creeping gently out on the finish. A very impressive blend, with superb balance and flavor definition. 93 points |
