Wine and Cheese Pairing with Ridge Zinfandel
The 2021 Ridge Three Valleys Sonoma County Zinfandel is a bold yet balanced wine with rich blackberry, plum, and dark cherry notes, complemented by hints of pepper, spice, and oak. To enhance its flavors, you'll want a cheese pairing that can stand up to its intensity but also complement its fruit-forward and spicy profile. A perfect cheese pairing for this Zinfandel would Manchego, which offers a subtle, nutty flavor that still pairs nicely with the wine's fruit and spice. The cheese’s slight saltiness can balance out the wine's acidity and tannins, enhancing the overall experience without overpowering the wine's complex flavors.
Serve with some figs, nuts, and perhaps a drizzle of honey for a perfect pairing!
