Ridge Three Valleys 2023
Descrição
Dominado pela casta Zinfandel e enriquecido com variedades de vinhas antigas, como a Cariñena e a Petite Sirah, o Ridge Three Valleys nasce de uma combinação de parcelas que a sua adega cultiva em socalcos do Condado de Sonoma. A mesma filosofia de intervenção mínima que orienta a elaboração dos grandes ícones parcelares da casa constitui também a espinha dorsal deste vinho, dando origem a um tinto equilibrado, extremamente apetecível e repleto de frescura. Uma interpretação franca, elegante e sedutora do estilo tradicional californiano.

Ridge’s 2023 Three Valleys is the estate’s biggest production wine, with approximately 30,000 cases produced annually at the Lytton Springs winery. The wine is made using the same traditional methods as their vineyard-designated offerings, including native yeast fermentation, open-top fermenters, and ageing in American oak (with around10% new oak in 2023), which lends Ridge’s hallmark spice and structure. This vintage is composed of 70% Zinfandel, sourced from various Ridge vineyards, and is designed for approachability and broad appeal. In the glass, it presents an abundance of black fruit, layered with crushed floral tones. The tannins are lightly grippy with hints of baking spice and toast on the finish. A versatile, food-friendly red, and a nice by-the-glass pour.
The 2023 Three Valleys is a blend of 71% Zinfandel, 16% Carignane, 9% Petite Sirah, 2% Mataro and 2% Alicante Bouschet that matured for 12 months in 19% new air-dried American oak. It has layered aromas of wild berries, Italian plums, chargrilled meats, resinous herbs and lavender. The full-bodied palate offers highly concentrated flavors, though it’s light on its feet, with chalky tannins and vibrant acidity. It has a long, spicy finish. Expressive and elegant, it overdelivers this vintage!
Bright raspberry and boysenberry aromas come into focus on the nose of this Zin blend. The palate packs a wallop of rich raspberry-lemon, blueberry and cinnamon flavors, while the finish displays grippy tannins, aromatic spices and whispers of lilacs.
