Ridge 22 Pagani Ranch Zinfandel 750ml

A Living Piece of History
Pagani Ranch is one of the most storied sites in Sonoma, known for its cool-climate influence that allows for a long, slow ripening period. The 2022 vintage is remarkably vibrant; it captures the quintessential "brier" and spice of Zinfandel but elevates it with the deep color and structural "muscle" of its heritage blending partners. This is a refined, intellectual Zinfandel that balances power with a surprising, refreshing lift.

Appearance - Deep, translucent purple with garnet highlights.
Nose - An evocative bouquet of ripe raspberries, blackberry preserves, and exotic spices. Underlying the fruit are complex layers of fresh-cracked black pepper, cocoa, and the signature Ridge hint of toasted American oak.
Palate - Sensuous and full-bodied. The "old vine" concentration is evident in the succulent dark fruit mid-palate, which is framed by supple tannins. It finishes with a burst of bright acidity and a lingering note of wild sage and vanilla.
Pairings - Unagi Kabayaki, Butabara Robata, Iberico Pork with Yuzu Sauce, Beef Teriyaki.
Service - Serve at 16–17°C. Keeping it slightly below room temperature prevents the alcohol from masking the delicate spice and floral notes.
