2000 Ridge, Zinfandel, Nervo, Late Picked

Very dark color. Very ripe raspberry aromas on the nose. Overripe black raspberry flavors, moderate acid, moderate softer tannins, and a long fruity finish. This a hard wine to pair up with food. I had it with some curried chicken dish, and the fruit is so intense it held up well to the spicy curry, but at 15.7% alcohol it is not really a food wine. My rating 80.
