2022 Ridge Pagani Ranch Zinfandel Ridge Vineyards whole berry fermented on the82% Zinfandel, 9% Alicante Bouschet, 5% Petite Sirah, 4% Mataro Jammy black raspberry, orange zest and garrigue on the nose. Silky tannins and firm acidity. Flavors of blackberry, honeycomb and white pepper linger on the finish. Early flowering and mild summer weather provided excellent growing conditions. This vineyard in the cool Sonoma Valley is always the last picked, but this year it ripened early. It came in over five days in mid September.
