1967 Paso Robles Zinfandel

Zinfandel 1967 (Templeton) bottled Oct 1969: Though lighter than our Geyserville Zinfandel bottled at this time, this is turning out to be a spicy, delightful wine. Though this vineyard is probably a little on the hot side in most years, 1967 was apparently quite a bit cooler than normal. DRB (10/69)

Ridge wine is made with an emphasis on quality and naturalness that is rarely attempted. Our grapes are grown in unirrigated vineyards to maximal maturity, often at a cost of some loss of crop. We let our wine settle and age in small barrels, with only rare use of cellar treatment other than racking. Varieties are not blended unless so indicated on the label. Near Black Mountain on Monte Bello Ridge, the Ridge Vineyards site is 10 miles south of Palo Alto, 15 miles inland from the ocean, and over 2,000 feet in elevation.
