Rebel Ridge draws its name from the majestic mountain 'ridge' where three visionary 'rebels' in the wine world would convene, amidst the sprawling Californian vineyards. Disheartened by the dominance of a few global giants dictating prices and stifling innovation in the wine industry, these rebels sought a departure from the norm. The head winemaker, hailing from the famous vineyards of Valpolicella in Italy, was particularly eager to harness the great California many terroirs.
Their collective vision birthed a new era in winemaking – a style less bound by pretense and more inclined towards a "full-on fruit" experience. Rebel Ridge stands as a testament to their determination to break free from the confines of tradition, creating wines that resonate with the vibrant spirit of California, basking in the sun-drenched hours that define the region.
Rebel Ridge Zinfandel
Rebel Ridge's ambitious project, to create "California's Best Zin for Human Money", materialized with the purchase of the sun-soaked Zinfandel vineyards in the Lodi area. These vineyards granted the creative freedom to craft a wine that is a testament the many skills of our winemaker.
Zin20 Black Edition reflects the passion and expertise amidst the best California's Zinfandel terroirs. It is both a nod to tradition while showing a zest for innovation, delivering on fruit and ripeness with an air of simplicity. It excels at what it sets out to do - achieving perfection in taste, balance and finesse while maintaining an easy-going, crowd-pleasing style.
