    What We’re Drinking – Ridge Zinfandel 2015

    Really terrific blackberry and blueberry flavors waft up on the nose. Rich blackberry and boysenberry are joined by just enough tart raspberry to give a backbone. Hint of cinnamon, nutmeg, and black pepper roll through the mid-palate. This a delightful and complex wine, fruit forward and spice back. Pair it

    Aromas of cherries and strawberry pie waft up on the nose. The palate offers up sweet red fruit, Bing cherries and ripe strawberrries, with hints of marjoram and sage and a sense of freshly-turned earth. This is a $30 Pinot in a $13 bottle. Drink with lamb chops. Recommended. 89

    This is going to be a challenging Thanksgiving. Very few families will not be politically divided. Somehow we must come together and eat turkey without shooting at each other. Wine can help. It is a great unifier. Unlike beer and whiskey, wine consumption in the U.S. is split nearly 50-50

    The color is a dark purple/red, nearly black at the center. The nose is loaded with espresso grounds and unsweetened chocolate. On the palate, black raspberries, espresso grounds, and unsweetened chocolate explode on the palate. Just the tiniest hints of green pepper announce “Chile,” but not enough to detract from

    Color is a medium garnet. Red berries, red licorice, and leafy herbs flow up on the nose.  Black cherries, licorice, and tobacco leaf come out on the palate, while tart cranberry dials down the richness with a zingy acidity on the mid-palate. This is a rifle-shot glass of wine, well-aimed

    The color is a lovely bright gold. On the nose, honeycrisp apples, fresh pears, and vanilla come through. The palate leads with apples and pears, but moves quickly on the mid-palate to Meyer lemon and Key lime, with enough toasty barrel effect to give hints of pie crust. This is

    Herbs, and earth and seared beef fat show on the nose, along with blackberries. On the palate, blackberries lead, and a complex array of flavors, dancing in an out on the palate, offer accompaniment. Seared beef fat, pencil lead, violets, pepper, and leafy herbs all play a role. This is

    Red fruits and green peppers show on the nose. On the palate, the small percentage of Pinotage shows in the mix, with green pepper and rubber cutting through red and black fruits. Tobacco and cranberry come through on the mid-palate. This is an interesting wine for somebody curious about South
