title: Ridge 2009 East Bench Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley)
description: A rich, lusty and satisfying Zinfandel, showing classic varietal flavors of ripe, wild red berries, tobacco, soy sauce, bacon and white pepper. Alcohol is notable in the slight heat and glyceriny sweetness, but those elements are welcome parts of the wine's personality. Drink now.
variety: Zinfandel
designation: East Bench
