Four RIDGE Zinfandels in Wine Spectator’s Insider Weekly
Wine Spectator
July 2025
The mid-July issue of Wine Spectator Insider Weekly features four RIDGE Zinfandels! The Insider is a weekly publication that’s a first look at Wine Spectator Editors’ most exciting new wines. Among their top picks are four limited single-vineyard wines that will be available online and at our wineries this fall.
2023 Benito Dusi Zinfandel
94 Points | Paso Robles
“Vivacious and expressive, with bold aromas of blackberry cobbler and huckleberry that open to rich and detailed flavors of roasted anise and cracked pepper beef. Finishes with plump, ripe tannins. Drink now through 2035.” — T.F.
2023 Pagani Ranch Norma’s Block
93 Points | Sonoma Valley
“A real bruiser, bold and potent, with concentrated currant and blackberry flavors accented with savory dill, white pepper and Asian dark spices. Ends with broad-shouldered tannins. Needs time. Zinfandel. Best from 2026 through 2035.” — T.F.
Fall 2025 Release
2023 St. Peter’s Church Zinfandel
93 Points (First Vintage!) | Alexander Valley
“Precision meets torque in this powerfully built Zin, which offers deep flavors of blackberry, licorice, briar patch and bittersweet chocolate that build tension and richness toward the firm finish. Hands off for now. Best from 2026 through 2035.” — T.F.
Fall 2025 Release
2023 Blasi Zinfandel
93 Points | Chalk Hill
“An elegant claret-style version, with rich and polished flavors of raspberry, mocha, roasted sage and licorice that glide on the generous finish. Drink now through 2033.” — T.F.
Fall 2025 Release
