This Ridge Guadagni Zinfandel presents an aromatic bouquet of intense ripe black and red fruits like blackberry, raspberry, and black cherry, intertwined with notes of bramble, black pepper, and baking spices. Hints of blueberry and plum from the Petite Sirah add depth, along with earthy undertones. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, with a rich, chewy texture. Concentrated dark berry flavors lead, supported by peppery spice, licorice, and a touch of mocha. The Petite Sirah contributes firm, well-structured tannins, balancing the Zinfandel’s ripeness and warmth, all carried by good acidity. The finish is long, persistent, and showcases lingering fruit, spice, and integrated tannins.
