| Community Tasting Notes (average 92.3 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 4 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by Alex Anthony on 4/1/2024 & rated 94 points: Dark purple color, juicy and luscious black & purple fruits. Vanilla & leather are apparent from oak. Medium bodied with low tannins and nice acidity, absolutely wonderful and balanced. We drank this without food and it was dangerously slammable. Great to drink now but will be even better with a few years of age to bring the fruit forwardness and oak into more balance. (1289 views) | | | Tasted by tomlee on 3/19/2024 & rated 97 points: Crimson in color. 14.5% ABV. 67% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 10% Petite Sirah and 3% Mataro. Breathtaking nose of red and black fruits, licorice and pepper. Medium to full body with perfect acidity. There is a concentration and structure here not often seen in field blends. Blackberry, raspberry compote, tobacco and pepper on the palate. Tremendous length on the finish with prominent silky tannins. The best Geyserville in recent memory. Drink over the next decade. (1304 views) | | | Tasted by oldwines on 2/15/2024 & rated 92 points: Tasted at Wine & Spirits Top 100 NYC. Aged in 22% new American oak, 14.8% ABV. Fruit forward but with bright acidity and a slate-like mineral undertone. Mostly boysenberry and blackberry to me. Some dark florals/violets as well. Needs time in a cool cellar. Probably best between its 5th and 15th birthdays. (1611 views) |
| Ridge Producer website | Wikipedia
Ridge Vineyards is a California winery specializing in premium Cabernet Sauvignon, Zinfandel, and Chardonnay wines. Ridge produces wine at two winery locations in northern California. The original winery facilities are located at an elevation of 2,300 feet (700 m) on Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains AVA near Cupertino, California. The other Ridge winery facilities are at Lytton Springs in the Dry Creek Valley AVA of Sonoma County.USAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Sonoma CountyMendocino CountyAlexander Valley Alexander Valley Winegrowers Association | Wikipedia
