Ridge Vineyards “Pagani Ranch” Zinfandel Sonoma 2021

A rich, full-bodied red wine from the heart of Sonoma, the Ridge Vineyards "Pagani Ranch" Zinfandel 2021 showcases the bold character of the Zinfandel grape. This dry, red wine is crafted from 100% Zinfandel grown in the renowned Pagani Ranch, known for its unique terroir that imparts deep flavors and complexity. The 2021 vintage reflects the perfect balance of ripe fruit and structured tannins, with a subtle touch of oak aging that enhances its depth.

The wine opens with vibrant aromas of black cherry, raspberry, and hints of spice, leading into a palate that is rich with dark fruits, such as blackberry and plum, intertwined with notes of pepper and subtle earthiness. The structured tannins provide a smooth mouthfeel, while the bright acidity keeps the wine fresh and lively. A long, elegant finish with hints of toasted oak lingers on the palate, making this a truly remarkable Zinfandel.

 

The Ridge Vineyards “Pagani Ranch” Zinfandel pairs beautifully with grilled meats like barbecue ribs or a juicy steak. It also complements dishes like spicy pasta arrabbiata or a rich, aged cheddar cheese.
