Item Description

3L 2013 Ridge Vineyards, Geyserville, Alexander Valley 

Ridge has made the Geyserville as a single-site zinfandel in every year since 1966. The grapes are grown in three adjoining vineyards on a defined stretch of gravelly soil approximately one-and-a-quarter miles long and a half-mile wide (2 km x 0.8 km).

Tasting Notes: Saturated ruby/purple hue. Black cherry, plum, toasted oak, gravelly-rock mineral. Full-bodied, deep flavors of bramble, blackberries; fresh mint; chalky tannins. Sensuous, layered flavors persist in a long finish.

Vintage Notes:

Winter rains ended in December, and a warm February prompted early bud-break. Light rains in April saved the day, and let the vines set a full crop. This was the most uniform and evenly ripe vintage in many years. Fermentations began quickly, and we pressed on day seven. In assemblage, thirty-five percent of the lots were held out—an especially rigorous selection. The wine has elegant structure, intense berry fruit, and firm acid. It will be most enjoyable over the next eight to ten years.
