Experience the heritage of one of California’s most iconic vineyards with the Ridge Vineyards Geyserville 2021, a small-batch aged red wine crafted with minimal intervention and maximum character. First produced in 1966, this vintage continues a 56-year legacy of winemaking excellence.
Made from hand-harvested Zinfandel grapes, this bold red wine benefits from a dry winter and moderate growing season that allowed for even ripening. The result is a fruit-forward Zinfandel with vibrant acidity, refined tannins, and remarkable ageing potential.
Tasting Notes:
In the glass, this California aged Zinfandel displays a rich ruby-garnet hue. Aromas of dark plum, black cherry, lavender, and baking spices lead to a full-bodied palate. Expect layers of toasted oak, wet gravel, and hints of cola and violets. Fine-grained tannins and natural acidity deliver a long, balanced finish, perfect for enjoying now or cellaring for up to 14 years.
Winemaking Details:
• Harvested: September 3 – October 1
• Fermentation: 100% native yeast, floating cap, daily pump-overs
