Winemaker Tasting Note: Saturated garnet-red color. Initial nose is restrained, showing dark berry fruit, clay earth, gaminess, fennel, and pepper. It opens up on entry showing rich blackberry fruit, roasted vegetables, prosciutto, fennel, and great length to its finish. This has superb aging potential.
Vineyard: Lytton Springs
Membership Program: ATP
Winemaker Tasting Note: Inky dark color. Pepper, chocolate and cassis on the nose followed by unctuous plum, chocolate and mint on the palate. Lingering finish with a hint of sage.

Winemaker Tasting Note: Translucent gold color. Aromas of citrus fruits, orange blossom, and crushed rock mineral. Juicy lemon and lime fruits, fresh and vibrant, and firm acidity into a long finish.
Vineyard: Halter Ranch
California grown, first cold pressed, extra virgin olive oil made from Arbosana olives alongside our unfiltered, 17-year-old barrel-aged red wine vinegar.
In 1962, Ridge made its first Monte Bello, and two years later its first zinfandel. Since that time, Ridge has championed single-vineyard winemaking, searching California for those rare and exceptional vineyards where climate, soil, and variety are ideally matched.
