Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel Paso Robles 2002
Winemaker Notes:
This is our twenty-eighth vintage from Beni Dusi’s old-vine zinfandel vineyard. 2002 was an unusually good year for zinfandel throughout California; Paso Robles’ fruit, though especially fine, was not typical. Rainfall in this part of the Central Coast was half of normal, resulting in clusters and berries considerably smaller than usual. During fermentation, color and tannin developed quickly. To avoid over-extraction, we limited circulation of juice through the skins. After nine months in air-dried american oak, the wine is both rich and focused. Even at this early stage, it is layered and elegant, with appealing acidity and integrated tannins. Delightful now, this lovely zinfandel will be at its best over the next five years
Layered ripe black cherry, plum skin, bramble, and classic regional spice in both nose and mouth. Smooth and approachable, with beautifully-integrated oak, appealing density, lively acidity, integrated tannins.
