The Ridge Geyserville 2022 presents a rich blend of Zinfandel, Carignane, Petite Sirah, and other varietals. On the palate, it offers a tapestry of dark cherry and blackberry flavors, underscored by subtle notes of spice and earth. The tannins are firm yet integrated, providing structure and depth, while the acidity balances the fruit, ensuring a fresh finish. This is a wine that showcases the unique terroir of Geyserville, with its warm climate and varied soils.

Ridge Vineyards is renowned for its sustainable farming practices and minimal intervention winemaking. The grapes for Geyserville are hand-harvested and fermented with natural yeasts, allowing for an authentic expression of the vineyard`s character. Aging occurs in a blend of American and French oak barrels, contributing complexity without overshadowing the fruit. Ridge Geyserville is often recognised for its aging potential, appealing to collectors and enthusiasts alike.

A blend of 67% Zinfandel, 20% Carignane, 10% Petite Sirah and 3% Mourvèdre, the 2022 Geyserville is packed to the gills with purple fruit and a ridiculous amount of spice—exotic spice, brown spice, baking spice, you name it. Blueberry, black plum, new leather, menthol and tobacco explode from the glass, all wrapped up in forceful, imposing tannins. A kick of mocha/espresso-scented toasty oak rounds out the finish. This is a take-no-prisoners rendition of Geyserville that will definitely benefit from some sideways time in the cellar.Billy Norris22nd October 2024

Mountain Wines of Distinction

Named after the historic vineyard area of Monte Bello Ridge in the Santa Cruz Mountains has been a byword for fine Californian wine since the early 1960s. Ridge shot to fame in the fabled 1976 Judgement of Paris. It was at this groundbreaking blind tasting that the 1971 Ridge Monte Bello was pitted against some of the most revered First Growths of Bordeaux. It placed fifth. (NB: in a re-enactment of the same tasting held in 2006, Monte Bello 1971 placed first.)

Under legendary winemaker Paul Draper, Ridge Vineyards became renowned for the exceptional quality of its single-vineyard wines. Though Draper has now retired, the estate continues to produce terroir-focused wines with the same commitment to organic farming and traditional winemaking techniques. From the fine Bordeaux blends and Chardonnays of Monte Bello to the Zinfandels of Lytton Springs and Geyserville in Sonoma, and all points in between, Ridge Vineyards remains one of the most celebrated names in California wine.
