Nose has aromas of blackberries and raspberries. Palate needs to open up. It is tight with flavors of cedar and dark berries.

Light straw color with a hint of green, very polished.
Fruit cup, grapefruit, quince, lemon and floral (honeysuckle) notes along with a stoney minerality on the nose. Very pretty and expressive.
Bright acidity and very balanced palate. Medley of fruits playing tart and sweet - lemon chiffon and orange zest on the finish.
A sublime Sauvignon Blanc that drinks well now but should also benefit from a year in the cellar.

this drank very well..it wasn't the oaky, buttery cal chard I feared it might be, though by no means was it lean and acidic. A nice middle ground.

Power, finesse, and all the aromatics you can hope for in a glass. One of the finest Alexander Valley cabs I’ve ever had.

My first 2020 Ridge Geyserville and was a little disappointed in this vintage/bottle. Had alot of unripe fruit and vegetative notes and was a bit more flabby. Per the back label there was an early harvest on this vintage.

Tasted blind, most thought this wine was 20-30 years old, still with ruby /garnet edges, nice core of currants with pencil lead, tobacco, leather, nice round mouthfeel, soft tannins, long finish, amazingly youthful for an 89 year old wine, what a treat!!

Drank with friends at Underwood Bistro. Double decanted and cleaned bottle ahead of time. Popped and aired at restaurant for 90 minutes. Really developed nicely in that time black fruit, anise cedar, picked up considerable weight in the glass. Nice round texture, full bodied, fruit holding it’s own, tannins resolved. Fred gets it. Great showing.

Drinking Perfectly Within It's Window Now, with zero rush and no end in sight!

Complex, chewy, and silky. Beautiful bottle. Decanted for 2.5 hours

North California bombshell. Lots of fruit, super long finish, nicely balanced tannin, a hint of leather and old tobacco.

less than optimal pairing with St. Jon’s eve pasta, not surprisingly, since it wasn’t St. John’s eve

Many of the 2019's are in a bit awkward stage in my opinion and I think this bottle typified that current trend. This was a good bottle of wine, but I found it to be somewhat restrained. Rich color, a purple dark reddish with a pleasing nose. Palate: Dark berry and cherry fruits, boysenberry, currants, tobacco and some acidity. Composed of 95.2% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2.5% Cabernet Franc, 1.9% Merlot and 0.4% Petit Verdot. This wine was consumed over a period of about 3 days and all were Coravin pours. The first was given very little air and although I could detect some potential underlying elements in the wine, the substance that I hoped for never showed. Despite giving it some air, on days 2 and 3, the results were pretty much the same. I enjoy Cabs from Sonoma/ Alexander Valley but for now, I believe cellaring will help this vintage, better days lie ahead. 90+/91? Points.

This bottle had a bit of VA lurking in the background and came across as rather simple and mute. It was delicious but lacking in verve and complexity.

This is a pretty pleasant Merlot which shows deep mulberry and plum fruit and a sweet, fairly plush mouthfeel. Fairly fruit forward with moderate structure. Enjoyable to drink without the precision or definition to score higher.

Day 2: Excellent. Menthol, tobacco, dried cherries , minerals, earth and spice. Medium plus finish and nice acidity. 93 points

I had it with rare steak and grilled vegetable. It got better with extra year in the cellar. It is ready to drink now. Dark red with a chocolate and berry flavor. Glad to have several to enjoy in the next few years.

Heavier mouthfeel with some overripe fruit but the heft worked well with a chicken florentine dish.
