Bought this year and decided to open it up tonight.
My first Ridge ever.
On the nose, I definitely the fruity and slightly sweet note of Zinfandel but also pepper. There is another note as well I can’t put my finger on. Reminds me of earth or forest floor. Only noticed it after the wine opened up a bit.
On the palette, I get luscious dark fruit and dark chocolate with some pepper on the finish. Finish is quite long.
I normally do not like zinfandel as I feel it is too alcoholic but this was very nice. I am sure all of the notes mentioned above will be nicely integrated by tomorrow.

Very solid wine overall.
