Experience the exceptional Ridge Vineyards Geyserville 2022, crafted from low-yield, hand-harvested organic grapes in Sonoma County’s renowned Geyserville AVA. This vintage faced limited rainfall and a record-breaking heatwave, prompting expert winemakers to pick the grapes both day and night to achieve perfect ripeness.
The wine underwent natural primary and malolactic fermentation using native yeasts, then aged for sixteen months in 100% air-dried American oak barrels sourced from Appalachian, Kentucky, and Ozark forests. This careful ageing process brings together the bold fruit flavours and balanced tannins for a smooth, approachable taste profile.
On the palate, enjoy deep ruby colour with enticing aromas of black cherry, dark plum, sarsaparilla, baking spices, toasted oak, and hints of lavender. The fresh entry delivers vibrant red cherry and raspberry flavours, framed by subtle tannins and natural acidity, finishing long and pleasantly.
Ideal for lovers of premium organic Sonoma County Zinfandel wines, this Ridge Vineyards Geyserville 2022 continues to develop complexity over 12 to 15 years. Perfect paired with grilled meats, hearty stews, or aged cheeses.
