Reviewed August 2017The 2015 Zinfandel East Bench, 100% Zinfandel from Ridge's Dry Creek estate, is deep, pliant and generous, all qualities that make it easy to drink and enjoy, even today. Succulent dark cherry and plum fruit flavors add to the wine's up-front personality. Bright acids perk up the finish, but this is a decidedly fruity style. (AG)

Refined and well-built, with raspberry and smoky dill aromas and sleek, zesty cherry and licorice flavors that linger nicely. (TF)

Bright mid crimson. Heady sweet and savoury nose with real vitality. On the palate it's clear this is claret-like Zin, not berry jam. This is a serious take on Zinfandel, as one would expect of this producer. You could drink it now if you insist but it's really more suitable for cellaring. One of the more youthful wines in this collection. (JR)
Notes
From one of California's most respected names in Zinfandel, this is made from 100% Zinfandel grown on the far eastern edge of the valley, and is a big, smooth wine with a lot of underlying weight and lush cherry notes. It is fresh and agile with a nice, long finish.
