Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel York Creek Late Harvest 2002 Size:750ml 92 - Wine AdvocateWinemaker Notes: this is the fourth consecutive vintage in which Zinfandel on the York Creek Vineyard has ripened well beyond table wine style, the quantities of this late picked wine are less than half those of the proceeding years. Fine spring weather, moderate summer temperatures, and heat in early September ripen the grapes fully by months end. The race track block provided the majority of grapes, house block the rest; these are home to York Creek
