Ridge Pagani Ranch Zinfandel 2021

The 2021 Zinfandel Pagani Ranch is a wine of tremendous stature. Vertical and composed in bearing, the 2021 has a ton to offer, but is also a bit reserved today. Time in the glass brings out a mesmerizing range of red/purplish fruit, spice, cedar, new leather, tobacco, mocha and dried flowers. Pagani Ranch remains a beacon for Sonoma County Zinfandel-based field blends. This is a fine rendition. Drinking window: 2024-2036. Score – 95. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Nov. 7, 2023)
