Antonio Galloni
Black cherry, plum, smoke, dark spices and licorice are some of the notes that inform the Ridge`s 2013 Zinfandel East Bench. The 2013 possesses striking focus and salinity that play off the wine`s powerful yet mysterious personality. The darker side of Zinfandel comes through on the incisive finish. This is another wonderfully complex wine from Ridge. 91 points.

Made from 100% Zinfandel, the 2013 Zinfandel East Bench is a concentrated, if not backwards, effort that has lots of plum and currant fruits, licorice, incense, and spice cake aromas and flavors. Medium to full-bodied, juicy, lively and tannic, I`d like some more mid-palate flesh, but it`s still a beautiful bottle of wine that will evolve for a decade. 90 points
