Ridge 2009 Geyserville
The 2009 Ridge Geyserville is an exceptional wine. A traditional field blend of 74% Zinfandel, 17% Carignane, 6% Petite Sirah, 2% Alicante Bouschet, and 1% Mourvedre. A section of the Geyserville vineyard known as the "Old Patch" is more than 130 years old. These old vines undoubtedly impart added depth and richness which younger vines cannot provide.
The first thing you will notice is the wine's deep ruby color. It provides sweet cherries, spice, minerals, with elegant tannins and a long finish. I couldn't wait for another taste!
