Ridge Geyserville Zinfandel 2022

A cornerstone of Ridge Vineyards' lineup since 1966, the Geyserville bottling showcases the distinctive character of its Alexander Valley site. The 2022 vintage is a field blend led by 67% Zinfandel, complemented by Carignane, Petite Sirah, and Mataro. This composition yields a wine with rich fruit aromas, featuring ripe red and black plums intertwined with pungent spices and notes of smoked cinnamon. On the palate, fresh flavors of blackberry and spicy black plums, supported by a structured yet approachable tannic framework. Aged for sixteen months in air-dried American oak barrels, the wine achieves a delicious balance between its vibrant fruit profile and more savory elements.
