The 2024 Three Valleys is darker and richer than its typical self. Mocha, wild blackberry, lavender and chalk settle in with real density and breadth. It’s a wine that overdelivers at every turn, impressing with ample freshness and a sense of quiet gravitas. Just beautiful.

This generous, dark-fruited blend of California heritage grape varieties, led by zinfandel, is Ridge's biggest-production red and affordably priced. Blackberries, cola and black cherries with hints of black pepper and sage. Soft tannins. Drink now.

The 2024 Three Valleys is a blend of 67% Zinfandel, 17% Carignane, 8% Petite Sirah, 5% Alicante Bouschet and 3% Mataro matured for 12 months in American oak (19% new). It has inviting scents of raspberry, blackberry, rhubarb, forest floor and spice. The full-bodied palate is bursting with spicy, wild berry preserves and succulent acidity. It’s supported by softly chewy tannins and has a long, layered finish.

Brambly and full of zest, this hearty red mixes black cherry, licorice, savory pepper and roasted sage flavors that finish with perky tannins. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouschet and Mataro. Drink now through 2034. 10,000 cases made.

This ripe and floral Zinfandel blend delivers lively aromas of crushed cherry, blackberry, orange zest, cinnamon, and potpourri on the nose. The palate brings flavors of dark fruit, muddled spices, and dark chocolate across a grippy finish. Best from 2028-2035.
