The Three Valleys is Ridge's general Sonoma County blend, made with fruit from ten different old-vine Zinfandel vineyards throughout Sonoma. The 2017 is comprised of 73% Zinfandel, 15% Petite Sirah, 10% Carignane and 2% Grenache, aged 11 months in 5% new American oak. The 2017 Three Valleys has a medium ruby color with scents of warm apricots and baked peaches, red cherries, blueberries, crushed stone and oodles of floral perfume. The medium-bodied palate offers concentrated, tricolored fruits with juicy acidity and grainy tannins, finishing long and perfumed.

The 2017 Three Valleys is a delicious entry-level offering from Ridge. Juicy dark cherry, plum, tobacco, leather, menthol and spice are front and center. The ripeness of the vintage comes through in this decidedly overt, lush Zinfandel-based red.
