More About Ridge Three Valleys Zinfandel 2021

Ridge Vineyards Three Valleys is a refined red wine from Sonoma County, California, blending Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Carignane, and Grenache grapes from three distinct valley appellations. With a deep ruby-red hue, it offers a rich bouquet of blackberry, cherry, and spice, complemented by flavors of dark fruits, oak, and velvety tannins, making it versatile for pairing with grilled meats, stews, or enjoying on its own. Ridge Vineyards, founded in 1885 by Osea Perrone on Monte Bello Ridge, has a long history of sustainable practices, avoiding synthetic chemicals to nurture soil health and produce high-quality fruit. The winery continues its legacy of environmentally responsible winemaking, balancing tradition with modern sustainability efforts.

Meet the Producer, Ridge Vineyards

Ridge Vineyards

Style: Winery

If California wine has a shortlist of genuinely historic producers, Ridge sits very close to the top. Not because it follows trends particularly well, but because it mostly ignores them and keeps making wine that ages beautifully instead.

The story begins on Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains, where vineyards were first planted in the late nineteenth century. Ridge itself emerged in the 1960s before becoming one of the defining names in American wine under legendary winemaker Paul Draper.

Monte Bello remains the flagship. A Cabernet-based wine grown high above Silicon Valley that somehow combines power, freshness, minerality and longevity in a way very few California wines manage. It became internationally famous after the Judgment of Paris tastings, but the wine itself has never really changed direction chasing fashion.

The Zinfandels deserve equal respect. Geyserville and Lytton Springs helped prove old-vine Zinfandel could produce serious, site-driven wine rather than simply huge alcohol and jammy fruit. Blackberry, spice, dried herbs and remarkable balance remain the signatures.

What keeps Ridge relevant is that many of the things now discussed endlessly in wine, vineyard expression, minimal intervention and transparency, were already part of the philosophy decades ago. The labels may look almost unchanged from the 1970s. Thankfully the wines still hold up remarkably well too.
