2006 Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel East Bench **

"[F]rom (eight year old) vines on the benchland that separates Dry Creek and Alexander Valleys," this is just still tight as a nun's asshole in winter.  Oops, did I say that?  100% Sonoma County zinfandel, bright and sparkling on attack, with hot red fruit, 14.9% alcohol, and kiss those panties goodnight.  Better by day 2.  Forget this for a couple years; it's not for the weak hearted...but then again, tell me about a zinfandel that is?
