Ridge Vineyards East Bench Zinfandel 2019 14.5% ABV

Ridge Vineyards East Bench Zinfandel, Sonoma County, California, USA

The Wines of Ridge Vineyards are timeless classics. A reputation earned through the application of simple principles. Great care and selective harvesting in the vineyard, minimal intervention in the winery, continual blind tasting, and complete transparency in their labelling.

Ridge Vineyards came to life when three research scientists from Stanford University bought the famous Monte Bello estate in 1959. Following the arrival of Standford philosophy graduate Paul Draper, Ridge Vineyards became increasingly focused on an environmentally sustainable, low intervention approach, becoming pioneers of a philosophy increasingly adopted around the world.

Ruby red in colour, with focused cherry notes on the nose, and a hint of toasty oak. Raspberry on the palate, with elegant tannins, and an accent of mint on the finish. 

Enjoyable on release, Ridge East Bench Zinfandel will develop over the next seven years. Perfect paired with roast pork tenderloin and blue cheese potatoes.
