Ridge Vineyards Green & Red Zinfandel 2023 Review
California’s iconic Ridge Vineyards is one of the state’s best-known Zinfandel producers, committed to sharing site-specific expressions of the grape. This bottling comes from the Green & Red Vineyard in Napa Valley that’s named for its unique soil composition: red chert-based soils with veins of green serpentine rock. The nose opens with subtle blackberry and strawberry aromas and touches of earth, cedar, and spice. The palate is impeccably balanced, with notes of fresh berries dusted in herbs. The bright acidity and minerality keep the abundant fruit in check.
