"Dark opaque black color, briary blackberry fruit nose with a hint of pepper, full bodied, well coated tannins on the palate, vanilla mint and floral notes with a long finish." - from the winemakers.
In 1962, Ridge Vineyards made its first Monte Bello, and two years later its first zinfandel. Since that time, Ridge has championed single-vineyard winemaking, searching California for those rare and exceptional vineyards where climate, soil, and variety are ideally matched. Ridge has become a California icon, with a quality guarantee, their wines are lush and juicy with a mineral unerpining and fresh, bright finish.
Long reserved exclusively as a blending component for their iconic Zinfandel, this exceptional Petite Sirah debuted as a standalone bottling in 2002 before launching nationally in 2009. It sees 16 months in American oak (20% new).
