Occasional Wine Note: This is a unique Zinfandel blend that will not disappoint. There's a pretty floral bouquet that hits you right away and then it's just packed with fruit, earth, and wood notes all coming together just brilliantly. There are very few Zinfandels that hit the 97-point mark, but then again there are very few Zin offerings with such a unique blend of grapes.

The 2021 Ridge Geyserville is an outstanding wine showing an explosion of ripe berries, aromatic floral notes, earthy chalkiness, and oaky nuances. Give it some time in the cellar before reaping its rewards.

Tightly focused and briary, this blend offers density without weight. Presents plum and blueberry flavors accented by dill and green peppercorn as this builds tension toward medium-grained tannins. Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah and Alicante Bouschet.
