Ridge East Bench Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley 2018  - First Bottle

Reviews

93 Jeb Dunnuck -
All Zinfandel from the Dry Creek Valley, the 2018 Zinfandel East Bench offers up a great, pure, medium to full-bodied style that carries lots of classic spice, brambly herbs, incense, and plum-laced fruits. Nicely balanced, structured, and with solid length, this terrific Zinfandel will be even better with a year in bottle and keep for a decade.
92 Wine Spectator -
Appealingly old-school and just rustic enough to highlight the vibrant, briary wild berry flavors, laced with dried sage and licorice notes, building tension toward lively tannins. Drink now through 2028. 6,250 cases made.

Too late, we are SOLD OUT!

Miss the Pagani? We have another classic from the beloved Ridge Vineyards (you can never go wrong), and amazingly priced under $30! Special price for the last of our stock, $25.95! Our love for Ridge knows no bounds, of course --- if you’ve been a customer for any time, you know that. It’s truly an American treasure. Anyway, BOOM! We got the new East Bench release, with a fresh 93-point score (we’d go 94+!) from Jeb Dunnuck.

That pretty much hits it on the head - what we love is the balance and harmoniousness that Ridge always achieves. You can drink this anytime, with anything, with anyone - a true crowd-pleaser for all sorts of wine-drinking folks.

$179.70 a 6-PACK AND free ground shipping! My goodness -- while it lasts!

About the Producer

The history of Ridge Vineyards begins in 1885, when Osea Perrone, a doctor who became a prominent member of San Francisco's Italian community, bought 180 acres near the top of Monte Bello Ridge. He terraced the slopes and planted vineyards; using native limestone, he constructed the Monte Bello Winery, producing the first vintage under that name in 1892. This unique cellar, built into the mountainside on three levels, is Ridge's production facility. At 2600', it is surrounded by the upper vineyard, now referred to as the Perrone Ranch.
