Ridge Vineyards "Geyserville" Alexander Valley Zinfandel

Zinfandel from Alexander Valley/Russian River

Vintage:	2019
Description:	95 points Connoisseurs Guide. In the very first Issue of Connoisseurs' Guide, back in November, 1974, Ridge Geyserville was among the most highly praised wines. And, now four decades and five years later, the very same wine sits at the top of the ratings table. But there is an interesting difference. This wine is among the most mannerly Geyservilles ever. Yes, it is its usually deep and complex self with ripe berries both black and blue profoundly expressed all joined with the richness and flavor length that has been prominent in the very best vintages. And, yes, that expected stratum of solid tannins shows up in the finish and promises a long and rewarding aging curve. This is Geyserville, and it still makes our palates sing and puts a smile on our faces. Buy it. (7/2021) 94 points James Suckling. A beautiful red with lots of blackberries, cloves, stone, spice and purple fruit. It's full and balanced with a creamy texture and a flavorful finish. Some graphite to the black fruit. More zin this year in the blend. 71% zinfandel, 19% carignan, 7% petite sirah and 3% alicante bouschet. Drink now. (4/2021) 93 points Wine Spectator. Deeply structured, yet nimble on its feet. Blackberry, fresh fennel and brown baking spices build richness and layers toward medium-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet. (tf) (4/2021).
