The 2011 Zinfandel East Bench (100% Zinfandel with 14.6% alcohol) was harvested during the third week of September, before the heavy rains of October. Alluring notes of wild brambleberries, boysenberries, spice and earth are found in this wine’s projected aromatic profile. There are tart acids (also found in many of these Ridge cuvees) in this medium-bodied effort that should drink nicely for 4-6 years. Tel. (408) 867-3233
