    James Suckling 94 Rating
    Bright and moderate aromas of red cherries, blackberry compote, coffee beans and spices. The palate is full-bodied with finely integrated tannins and a focused acidity that leads into a rounded and pure finish. A blend of 70% zinfandel with touches of carignan, petite sirah and alicante bouschet, which benefited from a cooler vintage. Drink or hold.

    Ridge Vineyards 2023 Three Valleys Red

    Jeb Dunnuck 93 Rating
    Made since 2001 from a number of Sonoma County vineyards, the 2023 Three Valleys blends 71% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 9% Petite Sirah, 2% each Mataro and Alicante Bouschet from Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, Sonoma Valley, and Russian River Valley. Floral, it is complex and less rustic than usual, the vintage showing classic charm and elegance. Though it is one of Ridge’s largest production wines, it is made in the exact same way as all its others, in open top tanks with real oak and native fermentations. It’s meant to represent a vintage more than a location. A popular by-the-glass pour, order it when you see it.

    With 12% Picpoul and 3% Roussanne, the 2024 Grenache Blanc spends eight months in five-year-old barrels, able to retain crisp acidity on the lengthy, textured palate, the grapes sourced from such great local sites as Adelaida, Fossil Creek, and Halter Ranch. Apricot shines bright amidst a floral jasmine character that’s impressively inviting, balanced, and enduringly fresh. Drink now through 2030.

    The intensely herbal nose starts with a powerful flash of anise, then softens with notes of fennel, sage, soil and cherries. On the palate, the herbs and cherries create a round, slick texture, but a dusting of bitter cocoa, along with framing tannins and self-assured acid, provide balance. R6-6

    Leafy underbrush, new leather, dark berry and chopped herb aromas waft out of the glass. The fresh palate doles out succulent wild cherry, ripe raspberry, white pepper and cinnamon notes, blanketed in smooth, round tannins. A licorice note caps off the finish.

    The 2023 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast is a deeper youthful shade of ruby and is super-elegant and floral. Ripe with notes of black raspberry and fresh violets, the palate is refined and elegant, with polished tannins and a long, seamless finish. It’s so good now, but don’t be in a rush to open it. Get a case and open over the coming 10 years. It’s a stunner among the appellation wines and an outstanding red. Most stores $54.99 BX-12

    Wine Enthusiast 97 Rating
    A Cellar Selection. Flavors of pomegranate, black plum, orange zest and root beer mean this Zinfandel is simultaneously friendly and impressively serious. The tannins are lightly grippy with the potential to age, while the palate is mouthwatering and lengthy. Complexity and detail makes this wine stand out.
