2021 Pagani Ranch Zinfandel

90% Zinfandel, 5% Petite Sirah, 5% Alicante Bouschet

Herkunft
Westlicher Teil der Sonoma Valley AVA.
Nicht zu verwechseln mit der übergeordneten Bezeichnung Sonoma County, die auch die Bereiche Dry Creek Valley, Alexander Valley und Russian River umfasst.

Since 1991, Ridge has made zinfandel from the Pagani vineyard on the western side of Sonoma Valley. The majority of the vineyard was planted ninety to one hundred twenty years ago; portions of it were replanted between 2013—2018. The vineyard is meticulously tended by a quality-conscious family who has worked the land for four generations. An average site would have been abandoned during the
thirteen years of Prohibition, or during the Depression. Its long survival is proof of its merit.
