Ridge Vineyards Carmichael Ranch Zinfandel Blend, Sonoma County, California, USA, 2012

Description

The 2012 Carmichael Ranch Zinfandel is a bold, expressive single-vineyard wine from Ridge Vineyards, crafted from sustainably farmed old vines in Sonoma County. A blend of 76% Zinfandel and 24% Petite Sirah, it offers concentrated aromas of blackberry, raspberry, black plum, cracked pepper, and baking spice. Rich fruit, vibrant acidity, and structured tannins lead to a long, balanced finish, making it an excellent pairing for grilled steaks, smoked ribs, barbecue, roasted lamb, and aged cheeses.
