Vinepair
November 2025
We’re proud to share that RIDGE’s 2023 Green & Red Zinfandel was recently named one of VinePair’s 30 best zinfandels of 2025! To compile their list, VinePair tasted a range of Zinfandels from up and down the West Coast and Croatia (Zinfandel’s original home), which includes new and classic producers and gives a special nod to RIDGE’s history with Zinfandel.
“But there are some winemakers interested in digging into the history of America’s signature grape, finding old (sometimes forgotten) sites and making stunning, site-specific Zinfandels. Here, we highlight some of the producers that were pioneers in this mission, like Ravenswood and Ridge Vineyards, as well as some newer producers turning their attention to the oft-maligned grape.”

Ridge Vineyards Green & Red Zinfandel 2023 | 95 Points
VinePair’s review includes a nod to the unique green and red colored soils that set this wine apart:
“California’s iconic Ridge Vineyards is one of the state’s best-known Zinfandel producers, committed to sharing site-specific expressions of the grape. This bottling comes from the Green & Red Vineyard in Napa Valley that’s named for its unique soil composition: red chert-based soils with veins of green serpentine rock. The nose opens with subtle blackberry and strawberry aromas and touches of earth, cedar, and spice. The palate is impeccably balanced, with notes of fresh berries dusted in herbs. The bright acidity and minerality keep the abundant fruit in check.” 95 Points.
