A blend of 68% Zinfandel, 15% Carignane, 12% Petite Sirah, and 5% Grenache, the 2016 Three Valleys blends fruit from eight Sonoma Vineyards. A handmade wine to every standard of Ridge Vineyards, this wine captures a snapshot of the region as a whole rather than a single site expression. It reveals a immediately pleasureable profile of fruit and spice with minerally savor that isn't oaky or jammy. It's a tremendous value from a benchmark producer, as described by William Kelley in the May 2018 issue of Wine Advocate: "Ridge boasts as illustrious a history as any winery in California, but they certainly aren't resting on their laurels. Indeed, a persuasive case could be made that Ridge is currently producing the best wines they've ever made."
