About this product
A blend of old-vine Zinfandel with Petite Sirah and Carignane from the Lytton Springs estate. Full-bodied yet structured, with black cherry, bramble, and leather, finishing with Ridge's signature American oak complexity.

complement
Duck confit's rendered fat and pomegranate's tartness call for the wine's acidity and fruit weight; pistachios bring a savoury richness that mirrors the wine's complexity.
