88+ 2007 Ridge York Creek Zinfandel (Spring Mountain) 11/7/13 ($25)
78% Zinfandel, 22% Petite Sirah 14.6%alc
Overall: Medium deep garnet color. A bouquet of hazelnut and cocoa liqueur with raspberry fruit. A light heavyweight with healthy tannins and acidity, but slightly lacking in fruit. All these flavors carry through to a long, interesting finish. Smooth and ready to drink. Interesting for the price, but I've certainly had better vintages of this wine. (14.5)
