Ridge Three Valleys Sonoma Zinfandel 2023

Zinfandel leads with brambly blackberry, ripe raspberry, and black cherry, all sun-warmed and juicy without tipping into jam. Petite Sirah deepens the core with blueberry skin, dark plum, and a faint inky bitterness, while Carignane brings a lift of tart red currant and cranberry snap. Alicante Bouschet adds a sanguine, dark-berry richness, and Mataro (Mourvèdre) grounds it all with savory black plum and a hint of ferrous depth. The finish is broad but steady, fruit-forward yet layered, a familiar Ridge harmony where each grape quietly does its work.
