This is a great wine at a great price. Very few clients are buying $30-40 Zins these days, in my opinion is that Zin shouldn’t be that expensive. It is a drinking wine not a trophy wine, anyway the Ridge Zinfandel East Bench 2009 resides in the rarified air of the Zin-o-shere along with the pantheon of Zin gods at well under $30 so mortals can spring for it now and then.
