Why We Love It: A standout red from an iconic California producer known for crafting exceptional wines since the 1960s. Sourced from 10 Sonoma vineyards, this blend of Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, and Mataro bursts with bold, juicy character, delivering layers of blackberry, dark chocolate, and savory herbs. Scoring 94 points from Decanter and 91 points from Wine Enthusiast, this wine offers incredibly complexity, balance, and drinkability all at an incredible value under $25.

Critic Notes:

• "It is a departure for Ridge, as it's not a single vineyard wine but instead a blend of 10 different sites from throughout Sonoma County. Bright and delightful with savoury herbs, tart early-season blackberries, and muddled mint leaves, all vie for attention in this wine's generous aromatic show. A melange of wild mountain berries, mouthfuls of dried savoury garrigue and lavender, dashes of white pepper and an incredible lift to the finish which lingers for an eternity. Concentrated and refined." - 94 Points, Decanter
• "The bright and spicy nose of this Zinfandel blend gives aromas of dried cranberry, raspberry compote and spiced fig. The palate is polished and balanced, with plenty of blackberry, plum, fresh herb and black licorice flavors mingling and lingering through the finish." - 91 Points, Wine Enthusiast
