Ridge Vineyards, a renowned producer in California, is celebrated for its commitment to sustainable winemaking and exceptional Zinfandel wines. The Ridge Zinfandel East Bench is crafted from 100% Zinfandel grapes sourced from the Dry Creek Valley, a region known for its ideal climate and soil conditions for this varietal. The wine undergoes fermentation using native yeasts and is aged in American oak barrels, which imparts subtle vanilla and spice notes. The flavor profile is rich with ripe blackberry, raspberry, and a hint of pepper, balanced by vibrant acidity and smooth tannins. This Zinfandel pairs beautifully with grilled meats, hearty stews, and aged cheeses.
